[QUOTE="jennd23, post: 459053, member: 11755"] I hate to sound pessimistic, but I would absolutely recommend getting your OWN evaluations done first before trying to get the school to do one. My TX school district did SQUAT for us with their evaluations. He qualified for nothing. I had an MD diagnosis, a psychiatric diagnosis, and a neuro-psychiatric diagnois all stating basically the same thing. They wouldn't qualify him for anything even with all of those and the district evaluation "magically" found nothing. My personal recommendation is get a completely impartial assessment done FIRST to know what you're dealing with before you start working with the school. But I don't think a letter is a bad idea in the mean time to get their clock ticking. I just hate to see someone rely on that and not get their own evaluation done because I don't think all the districts are completely honest with parents. Now SOME are great, no question....I'd just personally rather know from my own impartial assessment before letting them fill my head. [/QUOTE]
