[quote=Anonymous]I think that asking the school for help can be a great suggestion. However, it's important to understand that the evaluation process under IDEA is designed to answer the question "Does the child have a qualifying disability that impacts his ability to perform academically and benefit from the school environment." Sometimes the decision ends up being that a child doesn't qualify, even though he/she clearly has a disability. Other times all you get is an "educational" diagnosis, which doesn't have the specificity of a medical diagnosis. Think of the school evaluation as one step or one part of the process, but don't get your hopes up that it will provide the answers.[/quote]
