[quote=Anonymous]12:12 is right.  That is the process.  To OP - the reason you are not getting more info is probably because the teacher herself doesn't know what really goes on in those sessions.  But I want to add that after you've gone through all of this you will probably want to privately have NT testing done as 12:30.  You will get more in-depth testing (should run at least three days so kid can get a break) and cost about $3K.  And you should do it every three years because the results will most likely change as your child matures.  To give you an example of what 12:30 is predicting, the school will do the let's call it "mini-eval" and then tell you that your kid has at most ADHD and they say they can handle it.  Then you need to insist on a 504 and they will push back.  Then you will get private testing and find out he's really Asperger's on the spectrum, has slow processing issues, dysgraphia, etc.  and ask for an IEP and they will push back again.  In other words, the school system will be trying to find the least thing NT about your child because they DON'T want to provide these services.[/quote]
