I was online reading Lisa's article about IEE's. Lisa states several reasons for requesting an IEE:
1. the district does not employ qualified evaluators for a specific evaluation
2. you disagree with the district evaluation
3. the evaluation was done by outdated methods
4. the test protocol is not appropriate for the situation like autism etc.
While reading, I thought to myself a few things. Do I as the average parent know who is actually qualified to do these Evaluations? Is it just any old school psychologist? Do they have to prove credentials or provide certificates to me? How do I know if the model they used is wrong or outdated? Is there a standard? Can someone direct me to more specific reading on what is required for testing/evals? Or examples of specific testing done right?
For Reference: I have child with developmental delay, behavioral challenges and Autism Spectrum Disorder. She just turned 5 and will attend kindergarten in the Fall. Currently in ABA therapy full time. Not in preschool at this time.
