[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 232259, member: 805"] Good Morning! A few questions first. Did the psychologist make any suggestions for dealing with your son's school isses? Did he refer or offer further testing to see if his diagnosis was correct? Odd rarely is a diagnosis that stands alone. It usually refers to a series of behavior issues that accompany other dxs. How does your son do academically in school? Certainly you could verbally request testing for you son from the school. I did, but I was fortunate enough to have a team and a school that was interested in helping my son. But, sending the request by certified letter is the optimal way. It starts a paper trail that can become important later. The school has ten days to acknowledge and respond to your request. The school will call a meeting and you will have to sign off on each individual test they intend to give your son. The school cannot give any test to your son without your permission. In regards to testing, here's some reading for you: [URL]http://www.wrightslaw.com/[/URL] and specifcally in regards to writing an iep and testing: [URL]http://www.wrightslaw.com/advoc/articles/iep_guidance.html[/URL] Another thing to do would be to take some time and read the Special Education archives. There is a wealth of information in regards to this process. Every time I have an IEP review or such, I go to the archives and "reup" and remind! In regards to what specifically needs to be in your son's IEP - that's difficult. An IEP is just what is indicates - individually catered to the needs of your son. Certainly there are some basic goals and modifications that relate to particular dxs or disabilities. But waiting until there is a better understanding of what your son is going through is best. Good luck and welcome to the site! Sharon [/QUOTE]
