[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 36614, member: 23"] You don't want them to "decide" whether your child needs an IEP or 504. What you want is for them to evaluate appropriately in accordance with IDEA federal and state regulations, and an IEP committee (which includes the parent) to make determinations. How do you do this? Send a Certified Letter to your school district's Special Education director requesting the evaluation. If you need a sample letter, [url]http://www.conductdisorders.com/community/threads/if-i-want-to-write-a-formal-request-for-iep-re-evaluation.22433/[/url] is helpful. You can edit out the Parent Report and submit it in a couple of weeks if you wish (retitle it Parent Input). It's very important to use certified mail. It kicks in mandated timelines within which the sd must perform and provides your child legal protections regarding behavior. There's a Getting Started thread in the Special Education Archives forum that will help you get your feet wet regarding parent and child educational rights. [/QUOTE]
