[QUOTE="Woofens, post: 201927, member: 4425"] Thanks so much for the information. I used to know my way around the Wrights law website, but as I said its been years. easy child T's IEP has been in place since her placement in special needs preschool and that was 6 years ago I believe.. She did 1 year of SN preschool and is now in 5th grade, so 7 years ago I guess LOL Its been a while. I did have some fights with hte SD with her, and learned my rights quickly and fought for the things she needs, and got enough of them that I was happy. I would have still liked to have vision therapy for her, but since her surgery in 9-2004, it isn't an issue anymore and at the time, we were bordering on making things worse for her if we kept pushing. We are in a very small district, and very few of the parents of SN kids here realize they have any rights. Most of the children in SPED with my easy child are the children of kids that I went to school with that were in SPED. When I walked into an IEP meeting and the meeting took over 3 hours, and they had scheduled a 15 minute block of time they realized that they had someone who wasn't going to just sit by and let them push my child through school with no fuss. The previous director of SPED would literally turn and run away from me if he saw me in the halls. I know that if I tick them off they will make services harder to get. They proved that with easy child T. They will comply, but only if I push and threaten to use more drastic measures to force them to comply. We went through this with easy child T. I don't want to be in that situation again, and I think I already upset the principal by going over her head to Dir of SPED. And I'm dealing with the school on different issues with difficult child, so I'm really walking on eggshells. I'm going to give things a couple days, maybe til the middle of next week, and see what happens. Then if nothing is being done, I will go ahead and write the letters to request the evaluation. If they call and say they are assembling the IAT, then I will let them know that I plan to make the formal request. I really want my kids to get the services they need, with the least amount of fuss. Things are stressful enough here without having a war with the SD again. Thanks for the advice, I appreciate all of it.

I wasn't sure what that did to the rest of the process though and now those questions have been answered. Jan [/QUOTE]
