[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our charter has no problem providing fidgets (or chairs) during circle time. No fight for an IEP, either, as he clearly needed it.

[b]However, no one told me to see a dev ped. Not his pediatrician, not the school counselor. Not the psychologist who did he psychoed eval.[/b]

But I did and it was quite useful. The Dev Ped was not very focused on diagnosis either, but gave useful advise and a report. It can't hurt. Children's takes insurance spit would t be expensive. Get on the list now--what do you have to lose except your co pay and a couple hours of your life?[/quote]

Just as an FYI, LEGALLY, a public school CANNOT suggest to you to get your kid evaluated.  Neither can ChildFind or EI.

I've met many parents over the years clinging to the belief that they didn't get their kid assessed b/c no one at the school/CF/EI told them their kid needed to be evaluated.  The kids struggle unnecessarily with inadequate IEP while parents keep their heads in the sand.

I agree with you, getting the information is ultimately helpful.  I'm glad your school's IEP didn't let your kid down.  It always helps to be prepared.[/quote]
