Re: Parental Signature Required?

I have no idea but I didn't think that they could have your child

evaluated without your permission. Is this an update/evaluation?

It's a long story but to sum it up, he started having behavior problems

(pinching) due to a poorly implemented IEP. The mom is very involved

and is trying to work with the school but they told her " they just do

not have the resources to deal with him at this school " . The principal

called her in before the break and told her she had requested a FBA and

had also asked PhycServices to evaluate him - which really bothered

her. The ARD scheduled for next week was to discuss goals on his IEP

but the notice she received said they will also be discussing full day

attendance (she has been picking him up at 12:30 so she can take him to

therapies and do ABA with a private contractor at home), placement and

the IEP goals. She is afraid they are going to make her move to the

other school and put him in the " Autism Unit " (principal's words). She

needs help.

It is my understanding that any testing and/or evaluation needs to be

done AFTER a written consent has been signed.

You are correct that they must notify the parent if they are going to do testing

if it is psych or learning. If it is just basic classroom tests then no. Make

sure you check on last ard papers to make sure that testing at a later date is

not included in those papers. Sometimes they will sneak that in there.

I thought the parents had to agree to any testing with written consent.
