I have a follow-up question: if the child has organizational challenges, who helps (within the school district) ? Is it a "organization specialist", or someone else ? Also, my child's teacher mentioned that a resource teacher should be present at the Student Success Team meeting. Why is that/what is the purpose of the resource teacher ?
Irena, thanks for sharing your experience. It sounds horrendous. AEH, I wonder how to go about asking for their qualifications -- any tips ?
The special ed liaison usually works on organization.
Re: qualifications. I would start by asking which role conducts the eval, then contact that person directly and chat up their background, if it's not clear from their title. Good chance to convey your concerns, gauge the range of behavioral profiles in the evaluator's experience, and put some alternative hypotheses on the radar.
