[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would get the school to do a full neuropsych. Check wih Wrightslaw.com and look up VA regulations as well. Pretty sure you can push the school to do it if you put the right things in writing. Don't expect them to just say "sure!" with a verbal request. It is A LOT of work for them and everyone is overworked. Not sure what kind of evidence you need to provide to justify an eval, but it can be done and it's free through the school.[/quote]

They don't have to unless there's cause.[/quote]

THAT IS UNTRUE. They have to do it if you ask.  (Not a neuropsych-PP is mixed up. Schools to a psycho-educational eval. NOT neuropsych)  [/quote]

NP  here.  You are incorrect and should read the law.  The school does NOT have to evaluate if asked.  If the school determines evaluation is not warranted, they can decline to evaluate.  In that case, the parent can invoke her right to an IEE, obtain one at her own expense and then request reimbursement.  The school must reimburse reasonable and customary costs unless they take the parent to due process and a hearing officer determines reimbursement is not warranted.

To make any kind of determination, the school has to do an evaluation of some sort.  It doesn't have to be a neuropsych or psychoeducational testing.  It can be a review of grades or class performance or a classroom observation.  It can be a simple test.  The school can decide what constitutes a reasonable evaluation.    But they can't just say, "We don't even need to look at your child."[/quote]

I would never take advice from someone who equates 'evaluation' with 'review of grades or class performance or a classroom observation'.[/quote]
