[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]OP here: We are moving from overseas. We will be working at getting her evaluated as soon as we move back. Unfortunately, there is nobody in our current country of residence who does evaluations for Autism. We did have her evaluated for Sensory Processing Disorder, and she has been receiving occupational therapy for that for over a year with a great occupational therapist. The school she was attending here does not do IEPs, but we did have several meetings where we discussed her strengths, challenges, etc., and involved her Occupational Therapist in the last meeting we had. We have notes from the meetings, and the recommendations from her OT of how to accommodate her better in the classroom, but no official IEP. I am trying to get a student evaluation from the school counselor here before we leave, as well as her pediatrician. I know she won't be able to qualify for most programs with SPD only, but really want to land somewhere in a school zone that will be welcoming to special needs. Thank you again to everyone.[/quote][/b]

OP you can't fly back to have her evaluated now, right?  For FCPS, you really need to be on the spectrum for the IEP and it takes a long time to get, plus the war with the district to get it.  If you can't do that, then ASAP when you land here in VA or Bethesda, get her tested (lots of people will post testers here if you ask) and engage the public school immediately so they can start their own testing.  be prepared because it will take some time. Of course bring all your paperwork to both sets of testers.  You will want to have outside, independent testing done as well as letting the school district do their own.  Best of luck![/quote]
