[QUOTE="Chaosuncontained, post: 466277, member: 11016"] First of all, I just started the IEP process at my son's school. Carson in 9 and in 4th grade. He is VERY smart. Based on his behaviors alone I was basically told (by one of the County evaluators) that he would most likely be qualified. I was lucky. I went into Carson's school on a day that one of the Diagnosticians was at the school. She immeadiatley took all my info down and filled out forms on line in the school counselors office that day. What I would do (if I was you) would be to send a certified letter to the school (keep copies of EVERYTHING). They have 90 days after you resuest to have all testing done to be through with testing and then another 30 days to make the test results known in a meeting--and you should get them a day or two before the meeting to go over the results yourself and have questions ready). In Texas, the school has to pay for all testing. Carson's testing includes IQ and Achievement by a Diagnostician. All other testing will be done by a Psycologist. He will be observed in class a few days and take additional testing for learning disorders and a whole slew of tests. Even if, after all their tests they determine Carson does NOT qualify for IEP I can request for a different set of doctors to test him. PLUS, I will have all that info (test results) to take to another doctor, Psychaitrist, Psycologist, Therapist...who ever I take him to. If your son isn't in a Private school they can NOT kick him out. I agree that suspending our kids is a BAD idea. CArson figured out last year that all he had to do was act up at school and they would either send him home or send him to OCS and he could sit there and stare out into space with no consequences (other than getting behind in school work and he couldn't have cared less if that hapenned). But if he was told that he would have to call his parents and tell them about the trouble OR do his work in the Principals office...EEkkkk, he could settle down enough to get through the day (barely). I haven't read all the responses you have gotten, but these are VERY educated women--I have learned SO much in the short amount of time I have been here. Best wishes to you... [/QUOTE]
