[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just tell them your child has been tested for ASD and it has been ruled out. (Which is true, I assume?)[/quote]
Yes, based on the dev pediatrician evil, it has been ruled out. Our 3 year IEP revaluation is coming up and the team has to decide what testing our child needs so that she gets the supports that she needs to go to K. So I am wondering what tests they are going to suggest for our child.[/quote]

Sorry OP, I haven't read most of the other stuff because, as usual, people seem to be talking about their own issues rather than trying to focus on your concerns.

I don't live in DC, but I can tell you in our area it is only psychologists who do the ADOS, though there are definitely developmental pediatricians who will diagnose or rule out autism without it. If your child truly received a comprehensive evaluation for autism from the developmental pediatrician, including an ADOS, as well as an autism diagnostic interview with you, then it doesn't seem like there would be a need for the school to repeat it so soon. But if your child has not received an ADOS I would let the school do one if they want, along with any language and developmental testing they recommend. I mean, why not? If they complete the testing and you do not understand or agree with the results you can always pursue a private re-evaluation later.[/quote]

Thank you![/quote]
