[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 708303, member: 1550"] I think they have to. For clarity, call the state dept. Of public education and ask. That being saud, if the child wont cooperate, there can be wrong conclusions drawn. I have a son on the autism spectrum. He was compliant but we did not trust school testing so we got private testing. Our insurance did cover it. This helped immensely with our son.the school still has to test but, in our state, they have to give weight to the private evaluator...in our case it was a neuro psychologist (this is not a neurologist) who had worked for over twenty years at Mayo Clinic, then on his own. He was amazing. Do tell her to call the Dept. Of Public Education to employ a free advocate for her son. That really helped us in meetings with the schools. She was good. We got what our son needed. No school district wants to go to court and an advocate can do this. Ours had done this to a school district and won so she was carefully listened to. And didnt cost us anything. [/QUOTE]
