Situation: Child has had an IEP for speech services since K. Child is currently in 4th grade, has average grades but struggles with severe anxiety. Mom has emailed the teacher to ask for a full eval for possible learning disabilities (mom is dyslexic) and to rule everything out since she is pursuing treatment options for the anxiety and child has poor reading comprehension. The teacher forwarded parent's email to an administrator about 2 weeks ago. Admin came back and said that the parent's request (which was very clear and to the point in requesting a formal eval by the school psych) was "not send to the correct person." The IEP team had already planned a yearly meeting for Nov. 29th. I'm a teacher and parent of special needs teenager that I've had to fight for. I think she's being given the runaround because they don't want the 60 day evaluation window to begin this close to the holidays. I'm interested to hear others' thoughts on what the parent in this situation should do next. Thanks in advance!
