[quote=Anonymous]Denying your child accommodations and services that are necessary to their development, at a critical time in their growth, is willful neglect.

If your child does not need treatment or school services at this time, then you can choose not to pursue them now. But know that sometimes schools have IEP and 504 back-ups and need some time to set it all up; and that they might request an updated neuropsychological evaluation if it was done a long time ago. Waiting times for an evaluation and report can be several months long (6 months) at the best psychologists' practices. Then medication ramp-up takes several months if done with proper medical precautions at a psychiatrist's office. So all-in-all, for a child's wrap-around services and treatments to work, families and schools and experts need to work together for quite a while.

As for the political situation, it is aberrant. When this administrations leaves, no Republican or Democratic administration will pursue such fascist and authoritarian goals.
