[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 26192, member: 23"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I did not write a formal letter. Hoping they just keep their word. </div></div> The decision of whether to write the letter is yours, but I have to ask why you would trust them to keep their word when they haven't taken appropriate steps themselves to reevaluate your son even though the need is clearly evident, they refuse to give you documents that you are entitled to by law, continue to give you misinformation, and threaten you, etc.? Don't be surprised if they end up not doing the reevaluation, or if they do, it consists of a lot of "observations," "screens," and "opinions" instead of a real evaluation via normed test instruments and formal measures. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I wonder if it would just be best to wait until next year?? </div></div> in my opinion, no.
