[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 103247, member: 23"] Poor kid. First, an FIE is not required to change placement. If you want them to reevaluate, that's fine -- just so you know the re-evaluation is not required. Additionally, an evaluation will take some time and it sounds as if changes need to be made immediately. As the parent, you are a part of the IEP team. As such, you can call an IEP meeting at any time. I'd do just that, request the placement change -- an evaluation can be done after the change. It can even be a temporary change, say, until the evaluation is completed and recommendations as a result of the re-evaluation can be reviewed by IEP Committee. I'd take out, "We had requested a Neuropsychological evaluation from a TXXX Childrens hospital and were told that his Medicaid would not cover it." I'd change this to something like, "Homework has become a serious struggle. At this time, we are not going to complicate an already difficult situation by requiring homework be performed when difficult child is just not up to it." Evaluations only make recommendations -- IEP committees determine placement. I'd make the following changes: We request an ARD meeting be scheduled immediately to discuss a change in placement, because we do not feel that a regular classroom is the best placement for Aaron at this time. We also request a FIE which includes recommendations for the ARD Committee's review due to the changes in Aarons behaviors and cognitive functions cited above. Very important to send this via certified mail. Let us know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
