[QUOTE="slsh, post: 51325, member: 8"] Kjs - sounds like it turned out extremely well. It has been a long road for you and difficult child this year. I'm glad it came to a good conclusion. I would document your disagreements and points about the evaluation in writing, document the conversation you had with evaluator and her response to your concerns, send it to sped dir certified mail (cc: to evaluator) requesting that your letter be retained in difficult child's permanent sped file, and let it go. I'd make the letter strictly factual - difficult child's name is XX not YY. Advanced a grade in 200X not 200Y. May be "maladjusted compared to other students in grade" but consideration of skipping a grade not factored into this observation. Etc. No emotion, just facts. Ideally results of evaluations should help drive IEP; you now have an appropriate IEP so the evaluation really means zip in practical terms but you do want your concerns documented because if he's still in sped in 3 years, the *next* evaluator will be reviewing this report again at next evaluation. Hopefully with the change in administration, the new IEP, and the enthusiastic teacher, next year will be much more smooth for you both. But keep a copy of the IEP handy, just in case. [img]:wink:[/img] Again - congratulations. I really admire how well you were able to handle this in the midst of all the junk they were putting difficult child thru. You are truly a warrior mom!
