[QUOTE="Martie, post: 46839, member: 284"] The SD WOULD be in violation of the law if your friend had JUST MADE HER REQUEST by CERTIFIED MAIL last fall. (I need a macro--I think I have type CERTIFIED MAIL ten tiemes in the last two days.) THERE IS NO OTHER WAY to control SD such as this one--and even then, it's hard. SD only want to "hand out" 504 plans because they will not (usually) do anything because of the existence of one. Also parents have no rights except in Federal court and that is a hard row to hoe, Winkelman notwithstanding. In order to get ANYTHING, 504 or IEP, he needs an evaluation done by the SD. THEY MUST do this in 60 days or show cause before a hearing officer why they do not have to. They can't win this one because they ALREADY told her to get therapy for him. Therefore, they have "reason to know" he has a disability. That alone kicks in a BUNCH of IDEA protections. I get upset when people trust what they are told by SD personnel who lie deliberately....tell her to write the letter, send it CERTIFIED MAIL and yes "summers count" if the SD administrative office is open.
