[QUOTE="fosterparent, post: 142755, member: 2582"] I'm not sure about your area, but all I had to do was request testing (in writing--not certified) and the school had to reply to my request within 30 days (I am in Maryland). Testing was completed within 40 days. Once we got to the point of the school system finally preparing an IEP for my child, I was then asked to bring in a report from her developmental pediatrician to be a part of her file. Believe me the schools (especially the larger they are) will resist and count on you not knowing your rights. I was even told "it will go a lot faster if you do it with a private doctor." As I said to them, "Why, if I request it you have to do it." I did research on line regarding testing and IEP (Individualized Education Plans) and came up with all kinds of information, including a sample of the letter that should be sent to the school. You don't want to make it more difficult for your child, but you have to be warrior parents because you are you child's advocate and if the school can get away with not doing it believe me they will.
