[QUOTE="dadside, post: 236084, member: 5707"] Very broadly, I lean toward the school's position. A school is required to review IEPs at least annually, and normally to reevaluate every three years, but I don't believe the reevaluation has to be as extensive and/or from-square-one as the initial evaluation. I don't see why changing a classification would require starting from the beginning though, unless that was based on local or state rules vs federal ones. As to classification, [FONT=TimesNewRomanPSMT][SIZE=2][FONT=TimesNewRomanPSMT][SIZE=2]I don't see how bipolar not otherwise specified is so different from unipolar depression as to being OHI vs ED, so my sense is OHI may be inappropriate, and insisting on only that possibility could mean no IEP.
