Hello a friend of mine has a son starting Kindergarten in the Fall. Her son needs speech services. The principal told her that they could give speech services without an IEP. Is that true? She's in Colorado.

I'm dealing with something very similar as well.

We took him to an audiologist and got the diagnosis for auditory processing disorder after the IEP evals from the school were completed. It took my a while, but I finally found an audiologist to do the proper testing. The school did psycho-educational evaluation, speech-langauge, academic. I did request an FBA and an OT assesment after the IEP. So that is in process. She said it will take her a month to write her report. The school told me that the BCBA was also an OT. But she's not. So now we have to wait for the school to hire an OT.

Hello I have 2 sons with ADHD, sensory processing disorder and 1 of them also has auditory processing disorder. They both have issues at recess with behavior. They both have been suspended for issues at recess. They currently have 504s. We asked for an IEP, they evaluated us and said they are not struggling academically they do not qualify for an IEP. I asked for the IEE and it was approved. My question is who should I select to do the IEE? and what assessments? They have deficits in self control, emotional regulation, executive function, sensory and auditory processing and socially.
