You know, when I saw this sixty day thing on Writeslaw, I wondered... I actually have read somewhere that it can be 90. THAT is really such an amazing amount of time...fully one third of the school year! I wonder if there was some legislative change somewhere along the line since the 2004 reauthorization of IDEA?? Or maybe they got a wavier etc...
It is totally unnecessary for any assessment to take more than a month. I have assessed kids including observations, transcribing 20 minute language samples and analyzing them, scoring several standardized tests, writing it up etc..... well within a month even if there are school breaks or kids were sick and we had to fight for testing times because all of the school staff wanted to get the kid out of classes for their parts of the test.
