[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 74888, member: 23"] I thought the sd requested permission for a psychological [i]consultation[/i]. That's not the same thing as a psychological evaluation in my opinion. An evaluation includes actual interview and testing of the child, observing, reviewing medical history, obtaining information from teachers, parents, consulting with difficult child's mental health professionals, reviewing educational records, etc. Results should be presented in a written report. Glad to hear you requested additional academic testing. What type test instruments did you agree to? <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">He did not qualify through HISD for Occupational Therapist (OT) services so I pull him out of school once a week and take him to Texas Children's for his Occupational Therapist (OT) services on my dime. </div></div> He qualified for an IEP. Occupational Therapist (OT) is a related service and should be provided. However, I'd be reluctant to force the issue in that they don't want to provide it. Occupational Therapist (OT) is important and needs to be done based on the needs of the child -- not just enough to apease parent. [/QUOTE]
