[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Legally, consent for evaluation is only required for initial 504s and IEP. Re-evaluations do not require consent. However, schools make every effort to gain consent and typically only move forward with assessments without consent when a parent has been unresponsive. If it were an initial, consent would be required. It sounds like OP asked for accommodations based on a new condition. The new condition required evidence. The Connors screens for anxiety, depression, autism, and anxiety, among other things. They cannot add new accommodations just based on OPs word. Based on results, a 504 can sometimes become an IEP instead.[/quote]

I do not think that is true. [/quote]

Ok. You should google it then and see for yourself. Consent is only legally required by federal law for initials only. For re-evaluations, at least 3 attempts need to be made to get consent. Districts can move forward with assessments if the parent is unresponsive. It's not hidden information.[/quote]

That’s very different from “no parental consent required.” The parent can refuse the reevaluation. [/quote]

It really isn't. The law says that consent is only required for an initial. What schools choose to do about re-evaluations is entirely up to them. But, consent is not legally required. If the parent refuses the re-evaluation the school can dismiss based on majority vote of the team and the parent would then need to pursue via due process. But, again, they'd come up against the need for assessments.[/quote]

All this is irrelevant.  OP consented to the evaluation.[/quote]
