I have a different perspective. I think some independent testing is in order. I would start with a psych specializing in gifted kids: someone who is on your kids' side and has no other interests. Don't let the school railroad you into anything. Everyone deserves time to evaluate their options.
I'd also pick up a copy of "Wrightslaw: From Emotions to Advocacy" tout de suite.
Good luck!
I agree!! I refused to sign the paper the school gave me, till I had enough time to think about. After finding out that the school does not need a MD to Dx a disability. I'm rethinking all my avenues.
