[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 486965"] I am glad you were validated. That "mommy gut" is never wrong. As for the school, if you put the request for an evaluation in writing, they have to give you written REASONS as to why the CAN'T do the evaluating. It is illegal. If you requested verbally, then yea, they can say whatever they want. Why are you waiting until May and how is that being arranged? I am hoping it's to arm yourself with proof first and that YOU are the one that wants it in May. I am even happier that the therapist will be working with difficult child At school. That will help when it comes time for an IEP. Since they are an independent professional, their observations and recommendations carry some weight. As for your question, I wish I had known when difficult child 1 was 4. I can't help but think things would have been SOOOOOO different for us if I had known back then. As it is, we've gone thru h*** with the school with wrong diagnosis's. It's a lot wasier to get things in place when they're younger than to try to undo sd personnel practices that were based on WRONG diagnosis's for so long. I am VERY happy for you AND difficult child. Way to go Warrior Mom!! [/QUOTE]
