[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're responding to me but I'm talking specifically about an evaluation, not goal setting. The two are different in my view. I have my problem with the school personnel drafting some goals ahead of the meeting.

However, I don't think it was right or fair that the shook personnel had a chance to go over the eval with th psychologist before the meeting. But I didn't. How can I be expected to get through the entire report in a one hour meeting? And then talk about eligibility? It's crazy! How can I possibly be ready to discuss that at the very same meeting?[/quote]

NP.  When my son had a psychoeducational eval done by our school, the psychologist sent me a copy of her report as soon as it was completed and explained the results way ahead of our IEP (eligibility) meeting.  I don't know if there were any school meetings without the parents but the psych also attended the IEP meetings to explain the results to the rest of the IEP team.  We are at a DC charter that acts as its own Lea and contracts out evaluations and services.[/quote]

Us too (DC charter, own LEA, contract psychologist) but they did not offer us the chance to talk to the psychologist before the meeting, which I was told was to discuss the results of the report and determine the eligibility. Here was a whole lot to sites in that report and a lot of hinge I had questions on. I suppose if the school has a chance to ask pre-questions then we should have a chance to do so as well. That is what I reacted negatively too--finding out hey had discussed it previously but we were not offered a chance to do so. Admittedly I didn't ask but I thought the meeting was the chance to discuss. I just thought the school personnel had a leg up on us, which they revealed at the meeting (that they had already asked their q's).[/quote]
