Stan Conley: You want to contact the school, in writing, and request assessments for your children. You want full evaluations from both the teacher and school psychologist. That will start the ball rolling. When you have the meeting with the school to go over the testing results, bring copies of your daughters evaluations/diagnosis reports from her doctors as well. That information should be part of her record as it gives information about the nature of her issues. Please go to this website and start learning about the process, and how it applies to your children. Here are several targeted links that should get you started in the right direction. http://www.wrightslaw.com/info/elig.index.htmhttp://www.wrightslaw.com/info/test.index.htmhttp://www.wrightslaw.com/info/discipl.index.htmhttp://www.wrightslaw.com/info/iep.index.htm...Show more

He will need a longer evaluation period for this category as it requires much longer intervention periods....Show more
