Has the teacher from the district actually tested him or just come out for an

observation. I would ask for the testing results if he has been tested. If he

hasn't then ask in writing for an evaluation. You could base your concerns on

milestones that he hasn't achieved according to his age and the ASHA website.

Since he is on an IEP I'm assuming that he is in elementary school. Here is a

website that may help.

There are probably other sites with additional info but this one is one that I'm

familiar with.

You could also ask that your child's ped or neuro doc write a letter stating

concerns they have found. This has helped us in the past. Some doctors will let

you write the letter and then they'll read it over and sign it or make

adjustments then sign it.

You don't state what the IEP is for but if you'd like to add sensory issue to it

you need to ask for the correct person to also attend the meeting. Where I live

it would be the OT. She would have needed to evaluate him before the IEP meeting

but maybe you could the IEP time to sign a permission to test for additional

concerns. Again I would have a letter from a ped or neuro doc to back up

concerns.

I don't know ifwhat I'dtold you couodl help but hopefully others will be able to

give you additional info.
