Irena, thanks. I think we will need an outside eval, but am trying to figure out what the school is legally required to do. I'm not going to have them do anything this year but what if we wait til next year when she is a new school (hopefully a more competent one).
I haven't read any links yet, but I thought with child find mandate, the school is obligated to evaluate children suspected of having disabilities. We already have some outside reports showing ADHD and a processing issue and the teacher is seeing problems in the classroom. So wouldn't the school then be obligated to conduct an eval, whether or not a parent requests one?
