[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]who diagnosed your child with ASD and ADHD? Have that person put it in writing. You need to get the diagnosis changed. Check out Wrightslaw.com and arm yourself with knowledge. You have every right to get it changed.[/quote]

It is in writing from three different neuro development Dr s. Each form was excluded because they don't have e to accept the outside evaluation they recommended.
I fought for the change in label but they won't do it.[/quote]

Yes,[b] this sounds like the arrogance of schools.[/b] Did you get a lawyer involved? We found the school listened a lot better when they knew a lawyer was involved.

How do you find an educational lawyer?[/quote]

No, it's the law.  The public schools don't have to accept any outside diagnoses made by anyone.

A lawyer is extremely expensive.  Do you really want to hire one just to get "Other Health Impairment" or "Specific Learning Disorder?"

Most lawyers may consult with you for a nominal fee, but they will not review your case unless you give them a retainer, which is big bucks and in this area will run you ballpark $4,000 to $5,000 at a minimum, non-refundable.  If you are hell bent on changing the designation, I'd probably go with an advocate first b/c it will be much less expensive.[/quote]
