[QUOTE="justour2boys, post: 362126, member: 6235"] Run... don't walk to your library and get everything you can get your hands on about special education. The best and I mean THE best thing you can do for your child is to educate yourself as to your (and your childs) rights. After reading your posts about the 60 days, you are incorrect and the school is incorrect. The 60 day clock starts when you sign the authorization for evaluations/testing. But the school is putting you off by saying that paperwork will be at the meeting in August. I would ask for (in writing) for the consent for testing form(s).... the date on the form "sets the clock" so to speak. Then get on the web and research and research. Become very familiar with your child's school district web site... you would be suprised at the information you can find. And bookmark this site... [URL="http://www.wrightslaw.com"]www.wrightslaw.com[/URL] This is a GREAT web site about special education. As a fellow Californian (northern), I can tell you the school will do everything in their power not to provide your child with any services. So you must know your rights!! If you feel the school is incorrect, ask them to cite (in writing) the regs so you can understand. Also, communicate (outside meetings) only in writing. If you are asking for something, do it in writing. If you have a conversation, follow it up with a "per our conversation" summary letter. Other posters will add more info I'm sure. Just remember... Knowledge is power!!! [/QUOTE]
