[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd love to know what goes in to prepping the teachers to push back.  We've only had one IEP meeting, but all through my child's 8 years we've heard all sorts of complaints from teachers about lack of focus, etc.  All of the supporting documentation and professional observation going into the IEP meeting supported this, and many conversations with the teacher about the problem (initiated by her, because there was a problem) and we sat there during the IEP as she told everyone in the room my son had zero issues.  My blood still boils thinking about it as we were told [b]we need a neuropsych before they'd approve anything[/b].  What do the families who can't afford a neuropsych do?[/quote]

What you don't realize is that if there is a suspected disability that may be interfering with the student's ability to access to curriculum, and THE SCHOOL says a neuropsych is needed to diagnose that disability... the school must pay for that evaluation.

You can refuse to agree with the eligibility determination document/IEP draft and tell the school you're taking them to due process for refusing to properly evaluate your child. Their tune will change real fast.

Of course, if the student is doing well academically, socially and emotionally, it'll be hard to prove your case in due process.
