Huh. We've had two outside evaluations. The first triggered the initial evaluation that gave her the 504 plan (it diagnosed her with dysgraphia, ADHD, and SPD, but missed the autism). The second happened 2.5 years later, right at the end of the school year, and diagnosed her with autism (with the SPD and ADHD rolled in). We gave it to the elementary school, but it was not part of the file on her that was sent to the middle school. Then I gave it to the middle school, but they probably thought that whatever was supposed to have been done was done by the elementary school. They did re-evaluate her when the psychologist became aware of it (and gave her an IEP), but it didn't sound like it was an automatic thing.
