CSE to determine if kid can have OT eval?

[Guest guest]

I just got a letter from the CSE chairperson and she says that there

will be a CSE meeting on March 16th to decide if my daughter can have

an OT evaluation. She already had a screening and the OT said 'no' to

the evaluation. So, I requested an IEE and they have denied that

because they haven't done an OT eval. Fine that's the law. I THOUGHT

that I had the right to the OT eval but now I'm thinking that I just

have the right to an " initial " evaluation which she doesn't need...

she already has an IEP, diagnosis, etc.

I already told them that we could not attend the meeting in my last

letter due to our obligations (i'm sick and hubby works) and that we

really didn't have to because we have the right to an IEE without

explanation (even though I gave them one in the letters). I could go

to the meeting but it seems just too much. Is this really necessary?

They are going to say NO it's just so obvious. But I can't let them

meet without us there!

Opinions please?? I can't find any specific info in the law on this,

only on initial evaluations!
