[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 98483, member: 23"] Tis true. And therapeutic day school is a good example for Gaia. For newcomers to the Special Education process, if a student qualifies for an IEP, there are numerous services available if a student needs them. IEP = Individual Education Plan. The plan should be designed for the child's unique needs. When I write "available," that doesn't mean if the school already offers it. If a school can't provide a needed service, they must contract with an individual or entity that can provide the service. Yes, they should. Along these same lines, if for instance, it is "suspected" that a student has seizures, the medical evaluation that would identify the disorder should be part of the school district's evaluation. School district personnel can not do this type of evaluation. They would have to contract with a doctor that does. Gaia, I wouldn't assume the sd is going to get an evaluation underway. As SRL indicated, you can get the process kicked off by sending a letter via Certified Mail requesting the evaluation. [url]http://www.conductdisorders.com/community/threads/if-i-want-to-write-a-formal-request-for-iep-re-evaluation.22433/[/url] is a sample letter if you need it. There are others in the Sp Ed Archives. There's a "Getting Started" thread in the Sp Ed Archives that may be helpful for you also. [/QUOTE]
