[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They want to do their own eval so they can use their data against you.  You need to hire an educational advocate to represent you. Otherwise they will talk in circles around you, even though you are an attorney.  You are probably right about what your child needs...consider that even if you got the school to give you ot and speech-- they would be very low-quality and limited services.  Start with an understanding right now, that you will need to do most things privately for your child to get their needs met[/quote]

I'm confused why parents comment about low quality school services (as you do above), and then advocate for more of those services? or more assessments and meetings with those service providers? That is very offensive to school professionals.

Comparing school professionals who work under IDEA criteria, to professionals who operate under private pay is comparing apples and oranges.  I could go on and on about the conflicts of interests when a professional is working "for profit" and do question that the professional recommendations are valid or if they are driven by financial incentive and keeping the customer (aka parent) happy. The customer is always right especially if they are self-pay. [/quote]
