[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My advocate has encouraged me to sue fcps for refusing to test my child and not providing him with services/programs. I trust my advocate, but am unsure of taking on the school. Has anyone been through this? I would sue out of principal so what they've done to my child and how disrespectful they've been to my family won't happen to anyone else. Several other parents have had similar experiences at my school so I worry if I don't take action, their illegal actions will continue and children won't be served. I'd appreciate any information, tips, links, advice, etc. you could share. [/quote] I don't think you need to sue. A "nicely" worded letter from a lawyer should be all it takes for them to at least evaluate. Then, if you disagree with their evaluation, you can ask for an independent one and if they refuse, have your lawyer draft another "nicely" worded letter. If this is for services like speech or OT, anecdotally, I have seen a tightening of the strings in FCPS in the past year or two. I have a friend who went down the independent route and the independent evaluator agreed with them last fall and the school still did not budge. They are at the "nicely" worded lawyer step for that. It cost them $600 for the initial sit down visit and letter. [/quote]
