People have said on these forums that one of the reasons for so many parent referrals, appeals, and applying year after year is that [b]parents just won't take "no" for an answer.[/b]  On the flip side, clearly some groups are taking "no" for an answer way too easily.  I would still love to see the demographics for parent referrals for kids in the 120-126 score range as well as the 126-131 range.  I wouldn't at all be surprised if the overwhelming majority of white or asian kids in the 120-125 range are parent referred, while a decent percent of black or hispanic ones aren't.  [/quote]

+1. Has anyone ever done a FOIA on this, I wonder?[/quote]

I'd like to know the number of cases where an appeal was denied but the child was determined eligible for level IV services after all ([u]in same screening year[/u]). I've heard this happens and am dumbfounded if it's truly the case.  If a pushy parent can beat the system in such a flagrant manner, that speaks volumes about the entire process.  Paperwork don't lie, so let's see the data on how many denials were overturned based on "discretion" of the AAP office.  I have a feeling zero cases will be for black or hispanic children.[/quote]
