[QUOTE="jal, post: 40471, member: 3477"] Anyone been through this and how did you go about it? A little back ground on my experience with-SD... Requested evaluation. It was done Sept 06 when my difficult child was 4 yrs old. They found he did not qualify for sped. We again met to discuss his situation. This meeting included the school SW, Occupational Therapist (OT), nurse, principal, kindergarten teacher, sped preschool teacher, 2 of his preschool/daycare teachers, my husband and me. They still concluded he did not qualify for sped preschool, but that they were willing to put things in place for him to hopefully make things easier. Then they would see how he was when school began and if intervention was needed they would hop on it. Now a few months later he began Adderall and we started noticing a lot of meltdowns and tantruming and increased physicality. Last Thur he was "expelled" from preschool. Finally allowed back (hesitantly) yesterday. I removed him from the Adderall last Fri and we began to see improvement. psychiatrist and therapist think a neuropsychologist evaluation is in order. How can I press the SD to pay for this and get it done? I know he falls under their jurisdiction and they are familiar with his case. Is this something I should have the psychiatrist and therapist request of them? Because their evaluation of him was quite inadequate and unsubstantial. I feel that they won't persue just going on my word. Anyone had to request this of their SD when their difficult child hasn't even been in school yet? I have 4 more months before he starts and I KNOW it won't be pretty. [/QUOTE]
