[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone on this board ever done formal evaluations by a specialist before? They have one form for the schools and one for the families. The school form is the one that you should give to the schools. It gives the schools the info they need without sharing unnecessary health information.[/quote]

So you give the teacher write up, not the fully doctor write up/dx once complete?[/quote]

Yes, you can decide which details go in the report to school. It does no one (your child nor the school) any favors to hide important things but you can keep out things that aren’t necessary for them. The therapists know how to do this. Totally routine for them.

I say yes get a formal evaluation otherwise you don’t know how to support the child or whether they improve or needs change longitudinally.

Good luck to all, none of this is easy.[/quote]

I wrote the first comment in this thread. I do not decide which details go into the formal report to the school. If asked, the doctor will provide a school report but only on request. Families are given a report containing diagnostic information and other details that are not on the school report such as weight, bp, visit history, etc. The school report contains information not found on the family report, like accommodations if needed. I have given the school report to schools before for my DC, but they always lose it and look confused when I bring a new one in. My DC sees his specialist once a year. I do not think that anyone at the private he attends ever reads the reports I give.[/quote]
