[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 99872, member: 23"] I hope you asked for a " Full and Initial Evaluation in conjunction with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)" via certified mail. Read your documents carefully, but I interpret your information to say that they are not doing the evaluation presently, rather that they will decide if they are going to do it in 30 days. They are also asking for "parent input" and any evaluations you want to share. Under IDEA, the school district is required to evaluate in all areas of suspected disability -- period. If some type of medical doctor is required to do the diagnostics, it's part of the evaluation process. Sometimes the parent has to help with the "suspected" part. Also, they need to know about the bipolar disorder -- it will help them "suspect." ADHD, bipolar, ODD, etc., would typically be evaluated via a psychologist or psychiatrist, therefore, if the school district "suspected" this type of disability the diagnostics (psychological evaluation) should be part of their evaluation.
