[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From your initial post it is clear that you don't understand the IEP process. I would consider talking with an advocate.

[b]Are you sure the school psychologist only has a masters? That would be unusual. Most school psychologists that work in testing know the tests very well and are qualified.[/b]

You could have said that you wanted them to skip any of the testing. We did psych/social and ot but skipped a speech eval.  Did you not realize that the testing is to determine if your child has learning disabilities?

Have you paid for your own testing? If you disagree with the testing, you can request an IEE and the school will pay for all or a portion of the testing. What will your reaction be if the independent tester has the same result?

My experience in my county is that the school assessments/testing minimize or make the issues seem less severe to justify NOT giving resources. For most of us on this particular forum we fight to get the school to agree to a diagnosis so they can help our children learn. [/quote]

You are totally wrong here.  This is a subject that has been discussed a lot on this forum.  "School psychologist" is a particular masters degree track.  At some of the big meetings such as code changing or continued eligibility a real psychologist for the cluster might show up.  [/quote]
