[QUOTE="jal, post: 26840, member: 3477"] Mightymouse, I would think they would have to accept the diagnosis, but I am sorry I am not 100%, as I am learning about this process. When we went into our first referral for special education meeting with with-a diagnosis of BiPolar (BP) and ADHD we were never told that difficult child would need to be additionally evaluated by any professionals hired by the SD. They basically listened to our concerns, we completed a structured developmental history, a Battelle developmental history, a sensory profile and a multi-disciplinary observation was done. This all showed difficult child's behaviors were out of the "norm". Between this meeting and our regroup meeting about 1 1/2 months later we switched to a psychiatrist who said he was just ADHD and placed difficult child on Ritalin. It helped some in the am, so when they did the final evaluation he was pretty calm and they decided he was "better" and all his behaviors now fell into the norm and he did not qualify. We are going back to the SD next week for a meeting. by the way tryingtocope, I also think you did the right thing at the park. It's tough, but try not to let them walk over you! I have done the same thing, it sounds heartless, but my difficult child didn't get to see Santa because he couldn't control himself. Warning after warning after warning, he couldn't hold it together so we left - broke my heart. [/QUOTE]
