Or anyone that has been through this. TIA. Hi Ericka, We are going through the process of having Kara (DD3) tested formally through the school for any hidden learning disabilities. I have went through this with my oldest daughter, so I kind of remember what was involved, but it has been a while. However, the school is giving me a hard time (not surprised since it does cost money), but there was a site that I gone to before that listed the parental rights and all of the testing that they do and I am having a devil of a time finding that information. This would be for Michigan. Do you have any resources or ideas for me. Thanks so much.  SignatureSue (mom to three girls) > Or anyone that has been through this.

It looks like it would be helpful, but it's not what I was looking for, or at least I have not run across it on the site yet. There was something I read before that stated that the school had 30 days to perform the tests and that it was my right to have the child tested as long as it was in a written letter. I am not finding that specific information. There was also a site that had the terms on it and described what they meant, like IEP (I know what that is, but this site I am thinking of had things like that). I will keep this though and look through it more throughly.

Thank you so much Ericka. SignatureSue (mom to three girls) > Or anyone that has been through this. TIA. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > that information. This would be for Michigan. Do you have any > resources or ideas for me. Thanks so much. You might find this helpful although I doubt it was the site you were looking for. If you scroll down to evaluations you'll find there is a 30 day time line. The IDEA defaults to a 60 day time frame now but some states have kept the 30 day time frame. That is days from consent to evaluation I believe. http://www.michigan.gov/documents/7-28-05ProceduralSafeguards_132282_7.pdf That came from the Michigan state webpage which has other links as well http://www.michigan.gov/mde Special education is under 'programs and offices'. All those documents are typical state generated info which is awful to read but the info is probably in there. Hope you find the link you were looking for as it is probably much more user friendly :-) I also really like Nichcy as an organization/website. Loads of information. You can start here and work backwards to the home page http://www.nichcy.org/pubs/ideapubs/lg1txt.htm for other good info. http://www.nichcy.org/stateshe/mi.htm#state - scroll far enough down and you'll get links 'especially for parents'. Those groups (or similar ones) are generally wonderful resources in my state so might be worth a phone call. Good luck.

That is some long reading, but you're right, it is probably in there somewhere. SignatureSue (mom to three girls) > Or anyone that has been through this.

I don't know anything about it, but there are a few people over on misc.kids.moderated who seem to be very knowlegeable on the subject. You might post there, too.

Thanks Clisby. Do I need to do anything to subscribe to that group, or can I just start posting? I did, incidentally post to that newsgroup earlier, but my post hasn't shown up yet.

I did, incidentally post to that newsgroup earlier, but > my post hasn't shown up yet. I'm not sure - I never post there except by mistake, when I answer something that's crossposted; but I have had posts show up on mkm. I think the delay might be for the moderators to check the post, or something? Clisby >> "Clisby" <clisbyw@mindspring.com> wrote in message >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Clisby I think that is right. You just send the post and it eventually gets there :-) You can sign up if you want, or at least they'd send me emails to sign up. I think that speeds the process up a bit but don't remember for sure now. SignatureNikki Hunter 4/99 Luke 4/01 EDD 4/06 > I think that is right.

If you post there a few times and they figure out you aren't a loon or a troll, they will invite you to be an express poster. If you do that, then your posts will no longer be checked before being posted. Bizby >> I think that is right.

There is no server address to set up or anything like that. For posting guidelines and other information: http://www.afn.org/~cporter/mkm.html Banty (m.k.m. moderator - one of them, anyway) "Banty" <Banty_member@newsguy.com> wrote in message > That's right.
