[QUOTE="mistmouse, post: 5488, member: 289"] Martie, I am sure if I refresh your memory you will remember we have been to due process twice with this SD, and even a win with the HO and review officer, didn't cause the SD to listen. However, we remained in litigation through the fifth grade school year, and they worked beautifully to follow the BIP and IEP, resulting in a successful school year with large growth in behavior control. At the end of the year they tested her as reading with a GE of 11.6, which I was surprised by, but was probably fairly accurate. She had been reading Harry Potter books and AR testing quite well on them. The reading test done just a couple of weeks ago isn't quite as high, but it is still showing her to be reading at a GE of 9.6 after being out of school for the summer. As for the re-evaluation, I don't guess she is technically coming up for that, since when we were going to due process the SD requested an evaluation, but it was only a psychological evaluation, and I think it pretty much focused on proving/disproving any effect that not following the IEP had on her emotionally. I doubt they are going to agree to a full re-evaluation at this time. If I were to try to set this up and have medicaid pay for it, what type of professional does she need to see? She has seen a variety of professionals over the years, but it was mostly to determine whether there was something causing her to be aggressive or it was to determine emotional state before a due process hearing. Does she need a neurological evaluation or what does she need? TM, No NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) nor any Learning Disability (LD) has ever been considered for my daughter. In fact it has always been the SD's contention that because my daughter is so smart she should just do or behave however it is she is unable to do so. It seems to me the way they are looking at her handwriting is that she is just lazy and if she really wants to she has beautiful handwriting, but she has to labor quite hard to have that handwriting. It is more as if she is "drawing" her letters than has a flow of cursive handwriting. On the other hand, when she types, whether on the AlphaSmart or the computer, she touch types and types fairly fast for a young child. At this time she is refusing to use the AlphaSmart, one because the other kids watch her when she gets up to get it and then ask her questions, and two she actually believes if she takes enough time she can write 'just like everybody else in sixth grade'. Thank you both for your input, and I am so sad that if a child is smart enough they can compensate for things until it gets so late in their education, and that then nobody believes there is a problem, because she didn't fail earlier. mistmouse [/QUOTE]
