[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 30788, member: 23"] You do not need a doctor to ask for the evaluation. You will get no where with this district by "talking." You can get the ball rolling if you send the letter I posted in the Sp Ed Forum via Certified Mail. The Certified Mail kicks in timelines within which the school district has to perform and which parents are not typically aware of, it kicks in some protections for children regarding behavior issues, et al. You can also deliver the letter to the school district and have someone sign as receiving it. Ex: __________________ Received by _________ ____________ Date Time BUT, Certified Mail is best! You might want to go ahead and get a letter from the doctor that difficult child is OHI for your records and in case you need it at a future IEP eligibility meeting. However, that doesn't and shouldn't take the place of the school district performing a Full and Initial Evaluation in accordance with federal and state IDEA 2004 regs. The only caveat to this would be a report prepared by a professional accepted in it's entirety by the school district, e.g., sd not allowed to pick and choose what they agree with and dismiss other important items because it's not convenient.
