[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My school ignored the email for a while, then told me I had to submit a formal request for an evaluation.  (Just google to make sure you have the right terminology in the letter, and make them confirm receipt of the letter so you know that the clock is ticking.)  They have to schedule an initial "screening" meeting within 30 days.  My school scheduled it at exactly the 30 day mark, for a day that I had an irreconcilable work conflict.  I gave them a bunch of other days within that 2 week period I was available, but they were then "unable" to find another available day for a couple of weeks, so our meeting happened about 6 weeks after I sent the formal and official request (3.5 months after my initial email asking them for an IEP assessment, which they apparently did not consider a formal request)  If, at the initial screening meeting, they agree that they should evaluate your child, they have another 60 days in which to do that. So it'll probably be at least 90 days, even assuming that they agree to do an evaluation.

At our initial screening meeting, they declined to perform an evaluation.  We had a full neuropsych that was 2 years old, with a confirmed ADHD diagnosis and some suspected other things, but they refused to do any further testing or evaluation basically because they felt my child was not ridiculously behind in any particular core academic subject.

Unless you  cannot afford to go private for the evaluation, I would just go private and get the evaluation.  You can use that to get 504 accommodations and maybe an IEP, depending on your school.  [/quote]

Will they accept a private evaluation from any psychologist or does it have to be county school approved?  Thanks. [/quote]
