[QUOTE="dadside, post: 273667, member: 5707"] gcvmom is right that the school will have 60 days from your written request and authorization (90 in one state, I think) to complete the process. However, that it is summer and vacation time doesn't change that, which sort of puts you in a tough place. Your son would be better served by a proper IEP when the new year begins, but the IEP should be prepared with the results of the neuropsychologist evaluation known. Most of the process can be completed by full-time staff (not teachers with summer off), so the time limit is not so troubling.) Given the timing vs the neuropsychologist evaluation, you might discuss the best time to make the IEP request with your school district's Special Education director -- maybe August 1?? I would not share the neuropsychologist results with the school before they complete their own evaluations, but I would tell them up front what tests were used. Whether most recent grades are current term or prior term doesn't matter -- they are still the most recent. Your local school may seem less than helpful for any number of reasons, one being you may be asking for things not called for under 504. (Of course, no law says they can't provide extra services.) In any case, you may benefit from some trained help in going through the process. Every state has an office that will provide some direction to help. Many also have advocates or other help available for little or no charge. [/QUOTE]
