[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Phew, what a relief.

I should ask though since all three of you mentioned evaluation/assessment.

Kid had the three-year review last year and got speech only for this academic year. This year, I had to request the "re-evaluation planning" meeting in order to get the reading and writing services added, which is now the new IEP for next academic year.

So next year, I thought that in theory a full re-evaluation wouldn't need to be conducted... unless MCPS needs it for a specific code? I wasn't anticipating needing to have my kid to go through tests and the like again. Does kid have to go through all the testing again before turning 8?

Thanks again.

I don't know about age but we just have speech diagnosis.  We had to do a full battery of testing to get it.  Our private SLP did most of it and we submitted it and the school supplemented with their own tests to prove academic need.  It wasn't a huge amount of testing.  [/quote].

With the SLI code, does your kid other supports like help in reading or just ST, PP?[/quote]

We didn't get say in the IEP so I don't remember what it said as I only saw it when we reviewed it at the meeting.  I think they work on reading comprehension but I'm not sure.  Reading and writing isn't an issue.  We spent a lot of time last summer working on handwriting and writing at home.  I'd work on it at home and put him in a reading program over the summer.  We find the IEP a waste of time but child's is not having academic issues (which is why we didn't bother to argue it and we do private services).  I think you can get reading but it probably depends on the therapist.  Our private SLP does reading comprehension as part of speech therapy.[/quote]
