[QUOTE="Janna, post: 98856, member: 2737"] Ok, first, deep breaths. I'm lost. What are you trying to do? Are you trying to get your son help in school, like into an Emotional Support or Learning Support placement? For that, yes, you need to request it in writing, and they do have up to that time frame to test. It's the law. They COULD be nice and test him before hand. Will they? I don't know. But they COULD. Your son isn't under the care of a psychiatrist? With his diagnosis, he should be. I agree with SW, I wouldn't let a school psychologist THINK ABOUT diagnosing any of my children with anything, ever. This isn't a smack to them, but it's not their area of expertise. They need to stick to giving the Wischler and talking about feelings. If your son is under the care of a psychiatrist, you can go the route I did, and ask your psychiatrist to write a letter of referral to the school district for what you need. Our psychiatrist wrote a referral, suggesting an Emotional Support classroom was the better placement for Dylan, and in he went. BUT, it did take about 35 days total. If you're having a problem in home and the hospital is telling you to call crisis, call them. Call them every single time you have an issue. Call the cops. Restrain him. Dylan is 11 years old and you bet your bottom that if he was freaking out like that and hurting himself, I would (and have, many, many times) throw my entire body on him and lay there until he was calm (and I've laid there 3 hours waiting.....*sigh*). I'd keep calling them, every day if necessary, until they were totally sick of me. And if I were you, I'd grab a video camera from somewhere and tape what is going on. That's just an FYI on a personal level from me. It stinks when you have to wait, but is the way it is. I know you want everything immediately, but unfortunately, there are so many challenging kids in the schools nowadays, I don't think the SD's can really keep up. One psychologist for 400 kids = problem. J [/QUOTE]
