[quote=Anonymous]Our son's elementary school tested him for autism without our consent. The IEP team claims we consented during our last meeting during which testing for continued eligibility was discussed. We of course consented to testing for continued eligibility for services, but the word autism was never mentioned. As a parent of a child who has not been diagnosed with ASD, I would have remembered that. I realized it later when they sent the tests home. I objected, saying we didn't consent to this. (We decided to do the testing privately instead, at the suggestion of some on this forum). They continued to state that we consented verbally during the IEP meeting, despite our saying we didn't, but then they said that they wouldn't do any more testing for autism. Well, we just got the results of the testing and it says we consented and revoked our consent after some testing had already been done. They then reported the results of the autism testing based on incomplete test results, which I think it is even worse than if they had done a complete test and report.

Anyone deal with this issue? I try to maintain a good a relationship with the school, but this complete disregard for our wishes angers me.[/quote]
