[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks. 
I realize another district would have to do a new IEP when I get there but the current IEP would be what they consider in the initial placement, wouldn't it?

Regarding having OHI and ASD,  I suppose that is why they mentioned multiple disabilities. I'm not sure though. [/quote]

Not usually. They'd do an evaluation before another placement. Maybe if you moved in June they could do it over the summer.

How many hours of related services and specialized instruction does your child get / require now? [/quote]

If I move to a new school district, they need to educate the child right away...how would there be time to do another eval before that (unless over the summer and I gave them a lot of heads up)?

Previously we were considering a move to another charter; I know they weren't going to re-evaluate him, but would do an IEP mtg soon into the school year.  I have no experience with regular school districts, though, so I don't know how they operate. But I figure, if we live in boundary and walk in the door, they have to work on existing paperwork...

Child currently receives 170 min per week in specialized instruction (mainly help w/ writing/spelling) plus 30 min per week counseling, 30 min per week OT, and 120 min. per week SLP (pragmatic language, spelling/phonics). I'm not sure what may be in the cards w/ the new diagnosis or what to ask for...

Sounds like the thinking is the code doesn't really matter. Let me know if otherwise.

I'm also trying to figure out what else I should be doing...lots to think about and move on!  [/quote]

School districts receiving a child with an IEP from another jurisdiction have 30 days to create a new IEP or formally adopt the old one and follow it. During the 30 day time period they are supposed to follow the old one.

In all likelihood they would put your child into a class that most closely matched the previous placement -- and do their evaluation/assessment. IT doesn't necessarily mean a full set of formal testing -- it could mean just having their own people review what you had from the other district if its less than 3 years old and gather some impressions from the assigned classroom teacher.

Unless your child is struggling to access the curriculum now, the new diagnosis isn't going to change your services at your current school significantly. If your child has been flailing or failing -- academically or behaviorally -- then it might mean they rethink everything.
