[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Phew, what a relief.

I should ask though since all three of you mentioned evaluation/assessment.

Kid had the three-year review last year and got speech only for this academic year. This year, I had to request the "re-evaluation planning" meeting in order to get the reading and writing services added, which is now the new IEP for next academic year.

So next year, I thought that in theory a full re-evaluation wouldn't need to be conducted... unless MCPS needs it for a specific code? I wasn't anticipating needing to have my kid to go through tests and the like again. Does kid have to go through all the testing again before turning 8?

Thanks again.

I don't know about age but we just have speech diagnosis.  We had to do a full battery of testing to get it.  Our private SLP did most of it and we submitted it and the school supplemented with their own tests to prove academic need.  It wasn't a huge amount of testing.  [/quote]

If you just had your triennial, no they shouldn't need to, but they may want to if they have any questions or uncertainty about the eligiblity category (code). And depending on the nature of the reading/writing issue, you may at some point want them to go deeper and see if there is any specific learning disability that would warrant more specialized instruction in those areas.
