[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 515379"] Ditto Insane on the Independent evaluation. It is "usually" that way but I'm not 100% sure. I took difficult child 1 for an independent evaluation because the school one was a joke....so superficial and definitely biased (they had an agenda). Our insurance covered it, not the school. If you put the request to them in writing, sent the "recommended" way, I THINK you should have some say...but...like I said, don't quote me on that. As for the advocate, in our state we have a PACER Center that provides free advocates. We also have what Buddy is using called a Disability Law Center which is also free. PACER advocates are trained parents (mine was AWESOME) where the DLC is actually lawyers. Neither of these are local for me. Our PACER advocate drove an hour to meetings and the nearest Disability Law center would be the one Buddy is using and that is 2 1/2 hours away. As for the admin that p***** people off, yea, Buddy and I both have those. It got to the point that their attitude alone was enough to make me fight that much harder against them. ((((HUGS)))) to you all. It is a tough road and yes, you definitely want to get an advocate on board so they are in place when (not if) things go really south. [/QUOTE]
