[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 542400, member: 805"] [FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=3]Good Morning Jenna! You definitely came to the right place. You asked for IEP consideration last Christmas and they are just now testing over the summer? That's way too long. Before you worry that services will be pulled vs. provided, etc., check out [URL='http://www.wrightslaw.com']www.wrightslaw.com[/URL] The first site will help you navigate and understand the law (IDEA) and the second will enrich the first by giving you wonderful resources, IEP suggestions, etc. I would suggest that you spend this time coming up with what you believe he needs and the law allows rather than worrying what their findings will be. I would also suggest you speak with the docs you have been working with to perhaps get their input in writing. My difficult child's very first IEP session including his therapist who lent a real "air of professionalism" to our requests - none were denied. You are legally allowed to review the results of their testing prior to the meeting. Request that in writing. Arming yourself by understanding your nephew's rights under IDEA and asking questions from a community who has "been there, done that" is great! You are truly on the right path and your nephew is very lucky to have your love and support in his life. Welcome to the site. Sharon[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
