It hasn't been the easiest road. Thank god I research things and cross reference and make calls. I probably wouldn't of got any where if I didn't, People make it sound easy oh call this agency or do this and that. No not that easy. let me begin with my nephew never really got a clear diagnosis it was always guessing oh it sounds lie this oh he will grow out of it or whatever. but grow out of what and sounds like what?? whats that mean? first thing after the IEP by the school, they also do a big psych eval which is different types of testing for IQ, social emotional comprehension, etc.,,,,and thats how the IEP begins which you meet with IEP team once a year to plan the school year. Then theirs the outside professional much better than a school eval , eval, which is usually private pay sometimes the Ins company will pay, this eval gives you a diagnosis , this eval weighs more with agencies and services you might be eligible for. Then theirs the 3 year eval under the IDEA act that your child with a IEP is suppose to have done by the school it sees how far they have come its all that testing all over again. In my cAse, my nephew was due for his 3 year eval the school kept saying next year even tho I had the last eval which was over 3 years old long story short I won that bAttle. that eval is scheduled but reaching this point you feel like your not getting anywhere, you feel like I give up, you feel like how can I do this Dont give up, Im telling you, you have to know your rights there are so many agencies in each state that will help and yes its a matter of finding them. I am finally like because this Dr who is doing the eval knows a professional that we know and now someone finally knows exactly what Im looking for the questions I want answered, and what the future possible holds so this is free from the school. In the mean time all that waiting for the outside eval well I got that call just 2 days ago and they(Ins Co) approved that eval so I went from arguing for a eval to being on a waiting list to 2 evals scheduled, which is perfectly legal to do. from this I will know our next move, I think it will finally all work out
