[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course there is a need for the school to collect data. Yes, you can request an eval now and they will collect new data as part of that process. However, since it is so early in the year, it is more likely that they will determine that there is no educational impact. If you give them time to collect data, it is more likely that they will have data supporting an educational impact.

In other words, pushing for an eval right now could mean that your child has to wait over a year to receive special education services. If you give them time to adjust to kindergarten, they may demonstrate an academic impact that will qualify them within a few months

Many students start kindergarten with IEPs in place, usually transitioning from early intervention. These students have significant needs. [b]Is there a reason why you did not pursue early intervention with the county?[/b][/quote]

It's a long story, but the short answer is that we did pursue early intervention services and had an ISFP at one point but never got an IEP.[/quote]
