[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 761608, member: 23706"] Call the State Dept. Of Pyblic Education and tell them about this. That's what I did. My nephew was tested within days. They also told us the name of a free parent advocate ,(you have to ask for one) and she had sued the school.district successfully for another parent.once. the school was terrified of her and his parents never went to another school meeting without her. My nephew was treated like a prince in school. So schools in some states dont want to do the work or spend the money that they are supposed to. We have two choices in this situation. We can put up with it while the child fails or we can go over their head and make them do right. If you have the money, hire a lawyer. Be sure to ask for that parent advocate. Do not do nothing. That ends up with the child getting no help. I also recommend d getting a private diagnosis. My nephew got his autism diagnosis. from a neuropsycholigist. A good one. In the end, the school ended up paying for my nephew to go to a school in the district that could help him. They paid for cab fare back and forth too. Amazing what happens when you don't just think your school district holds all the cards. The Dept. Of Public Education is the big cheese. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
