Seablue, my best advice right now is to slow down. You are about 50 steps ahead of where the school district is.

The process is likely to be slower than you think. They have a 60-day window to get their eval done, and then there is normally a meeting of the whole team to discuss the eval and qualify the child for an IEP based on educational needs, and then another, separate meeting to determine what services correspond to those needs and how those services should be delivered and in what environment.

In short, if you get the request letter in tomorrow, I'll still be dazzled if the IEP is written during this school year.

Sorry to be a downer. I just want you to know that you have time to take a breath. This is a marathon, not a sprint.
