[quote=Anonymous]I was denied by the local screening committee at beginning of first grade.   What did the private screening say?   Given the test is now 3 years old, my guess is that the value of that is not as highand you might want to redo the testing now.   Also guessing that the testing may have been inconclusive, else you would have already had IEP for K, or other services prior to school starting.

When I was denied, I went to his pediatrician for check up (school said it might be other health issues), and paid for a private OT assessment that showed pretty obvious needs.  I also got on the wait list for a full neuropsych eval which ended up happening at the same time as the school eval.  I was denied in fall and then in three months, I filed another request and this time armed with all the documentation, they agreed to do the testing.  Both the school and private eval both said HFA.   All in all it took alot of time but finally had the IEP in time for 2nd grade.

Given the meeting is tomorrow, see what happens and plan your strategy based on it.  Be sure to tell them that you disagree with the decision if it goes that way and that you plan to resubmit with more documentation soon.   Good luck!
