<font color="green">susie, don't reject out of hand the idea of an intern or fellow conducting the evaluation. jarrod was evaluated by an intern & i couldn't have been more pleased. he was much more willing to go the extra mile to get the ever~resisted evaluation done. he, more than anyone, recognized the magnatude of jarrod's school phobia & was even willing to come to our home to get the evaluation done. the school psychologist would not have done that i strongly suspect. by the time they get to intern they are finishing up their clinicals.....yes, still on the learning curve, but just about done. i think you stand a good chance of getting someone who is more open....& certainly more likely to listen to YOU.
have you posted about the delay on Special Education forum???
