[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got a neuropsych evaluation with a private psychologist when DS was 4.  They diagnosed ASD-1, and he's been in a mainstream MCPS class room with some supports since then. Now he's 7 and we are wondering if/when we need to get an updated evaluation.  The school hasn't asked for one, but I'm curious if there's a general timeline or what we should plan for.  We had been on a waitlist with KKI forever, and got a call from them that we got an evaluation spot around when DS turned 6, but they said it would cost a lot and wouldn't be worth it to us to get it then because we already had a diagnosis.

Agree with PPs who said times of transition are a good time to get an updated evaluation. But the IEP also requires re-evaluation every three years to determine eligibility for services. This may include updated formal testing but it's not a requirement and is a team decision. Look on the front page of IEP in the bottom right corner. it should say "Most Recent Evaluation Date" and "Projected Evaluation Date." The IEP team will schedule a meeting at least 90 days prior to the projected eval date to discuss present levels and data and decide if there are any new questions or any need for updated evaluations. Sometimes they want to test and other times they say no need to test and student is still eligible. Hope that helps.[/quote]
