[QUOTE="Superpsy, post: 201893, member: 5848"] I don't think the SD is out of compliance...yet. I agree with smallworld and you should make the request in writing. This tends to get things moving and most districts will take the path of least resistance and evaluate. After receiving your request the SD has 30 days to respond with a prior written notice (PWN). The school district most definitely has the right to refuse. However, the PWN has to include what action was taken and why, what information was used to make this decision and what other options were considered and why they were rejected etc. etc. If your request is refused then you have other options (grievances, mediation, due process etc. etc.). Some important notes: 1. SDs CAN NOT use interventions or IAT processes as a delay tactic. 2. The IAT process can be useful and does avoid unnecessary testing....if done well. I truly believe that if you're comfortable with this go ahead and do it. Be careful though...do not let this IAT process drag on for months with no progress or no substantial interventions. This is only true if you allow them to wait a while. I work as a school psychiatric in rural OH...I cover 3 school districts. Once a parent signs consent I have 60 days to get the evaluation done...no ifs ands or buts. If I don't the SD is out of compliance. Wrightslaw is a great website. Lots of good information there.
