[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need new eligibility, not just an IEP, although the two are related.[/quote]

Op here. Yes correct. The new eligibility would come from the new diagnoses, wouldn’t it? The last eval was done 2.5 years ago when he was barely 3…..

We have an IEP for speech from his language delay but other issues have come up in the last year.[/quote]

Not necessarily. Qualification is never just about diagnosis. Having a disability is one of the three prongs. There also has to be an adverse impact on education and a need for specialized services to address that adverse impact. You’ve already got diagnosis so new diagnoses really don’t matter that much. What matters is to define the adverse impact.

Some disabilities don’t result in an adverse impact for a kid. And some adverse impacts need only accommodations. It’s really prongs two and three to spend your time because once you have any diagnosis all adverse impacts, not just those related to the qualifying diagnosis, are addressed. [/quote]
