[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 64706, member: 23"] I'm glad they are seeing some of his problems. School district's are required by law to evaluate to see if a child meets eligiblility for services prior to any services being provided. In theory, the evaluation is a multidisciplinary evaluation that should be so thorough as to identify all problems. In actuality, this rarely happens. Additionally, it happens that when problems are identified only a portion are treated. Example: Your child has motor skill problems and the Occupational Therapist (OT) is limited to fine motor skills. Because overall motor skills are so important to learning now and in the future, limited Occupational Therapist (OT) is not the solution. Another example would be Speech-Language Therapy. Speech therapy is given, but the child needs language therapy also because of an auditory processing problem, or maybe a receptive language problem, or maybe a etc., etc., but doesn't get the language therapy. This is the long way of saying that school district evaluations are necessary, but I'd also want private evaluations. by the way, there are several theads in the Sp Ed Archives you may want to read.
