[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 578191, member: 1233"] We had school begin to refuse to do the evaluation, claiming that Wiz didn't need sped services so he didn't need the evaluation. He still had an IEP, and accommodations for dysgraphia and some other things, but he didn't have any time scheduled in the sped room. They honestly expected to slide that past me and shuffle him out of the chance of any services. Here it is sometimes very very hard to get sped svcs for an older child if they had them and then didn't and then needed them again for any reason. That was the year they clued in that I read the regs, which they claimed no other parent that they were aware of had ever done. One person tried to tell me it was illegal for me to read the Special Education regs under IDEA because it violated HIPPAA of every sped student if parents knew the regs. They didn't expect me to find that statement hilarious, but I almost couldn't stop laughing because it was so stupid. I do know that one or two of the sped teachers will try to waive the evaluation if a child will no longer qualify but they feel the child still needs services. Usually those are the cases the district insists on testing. When the district level people here want to waive services it is because they are trying to get the child out of sped services completely. they come to you the next quarter or semester and say that since testing didn't show any problems, they cannot offer services. Of course testing didn't show services, they didn't DO any testing. Then they insist you have to start over at the beginning with a letter requesting complete evaluation, which puts you back at the very beginning of the process of getting sped svcs. in my opinion it is sick and mean and wrong, but what do I know.
