[QUOTE="buddy, post: 485934, member: 12886"] so you are saying a school psychiatric saw your child and just decided he didn't need an IEP? how the he77 would he be able to do that. That is not legal, ethical, possible, etc. There is no way for him to know what is going on with your child without an evaluaton. Many psychs think they know about every other specilaistis area of expertise because some of their tests touch a little on language, motor, memory, etc. They are not rehab specialists, they dont know about everything. That is why the law requires a child find committee. Everyone is required, after hearing about concerns to sit and say...well, this is how a disabiity in my area could be contributing to that issue so I better check it out, then the next person does that and on and on.... then they present the options to you and you agree or disagree with checking these things out. Honestly, I have never heard of that but I have met psychologists who thought they knew it all, that they were the leaders of teams (they are not, all are equal and obligated to say their piece) and they ahve tried to bully me out of doing my job. I never let that happen. As a mom I am experiencing it with my son too... so have felt it from both the Special Education side and the mommy side. '' You do what you want to do...for sure follow thru no matter what they say because it is clear they are either ignorant of this process or are trying to get out of it.

Make sure when you ask for the evaluation, that you want all areas of development assessed and a functional behavior analysis done to investigate the causes and ideas for support for each and every single behavior of concern. Get your warrior suit on.... you are gonna need it! ps...it is illegal to even observe a child for purposes of screeening even for special needs.
