DeeDee, I'm hoping to get things in place before Nov/Dec. If I submit the request for testing tomorrow or Monday, they have 15 days to respond, and 60 days to evaluate. That puts us to about the end of the school year.
DD could potentially gain a spot to the gifted elementary school (not holding my breath) next year if district testing is done and a spot opens up for Sept, which does happen.
So my urgency is in getting the process
started before the end of this school year, in order to have an IEP in place the first half of next school year.
But thank you - you're right, I need to slow down. I just caught a glimpse of hope for a solution to this school chaos and I'm full steam ahead, as if I can will it to happen. My request is as much a cry for a reality check as it is for practical advice, so thank you.
