School Issues-Do they HAVE to evaluate your child?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

My dd(11) has had a 504 plan since first grade. I would like her to have an IEP

so I can add other accomodations that the school has to adhere to, as well as a

behavioral intervention plan. My daughter has been diagnosed with OCD, Bipolar

and PDD-NOS.

Her grades are all over the board. She goes from B's to C's to D's than back

again, and has only had minor behavioral issues in school, but I would like the

plan in place as a (prevention due to her issues).

After setting up a meeting, I was told that my dd does not qualify for any

special education and therefore refused to evaluate her.

I was furious!

Does anyone have any information about this? Isn't this against the law? Don't

they have to at least evaluate her? I already paid for a neuropsychological

evaluation two years ago, and they did not even want to look at it. It had

suggestions for accomodations in it written out by the doctors.

Anyone???!!!!!

Hugs
