<p>My 13 year old son was given an IEP two years ago based upon testing that was done by his school. He likely has ADD (inattentive variety) which of course would not qualify him for an IEP. They felt he was qualified by virtue of the fact that his WISC IV shows him in the gifted range in the VCI component, but borderline on processing speed. We had an outside psych-ed evaluation completed and have recently received the report. This seems to present a more complete picture with executive function disorder, working memory issues, and anxiety as added components. Consequently, we don't think the current IEP is adequate and want to see a couple of changes. The problem is I don't want to give the school the report as I feel there are a few things related to his emotional state that should not be part of his school record. Is there anything that requires that I give them the report in full, or can I give them part of it?</p>
<p>I understand your concern about withholding a portion of the psych report. Schools don't know what to do with information on diagnoses related to possible emotional conditions. Can you ask the psychologists to edit out those portions of concern? If they are accustomed to preparing reports that will be viewed by school personnel they should be agreeable to your request and the reason for it.</p>
<p>Since you are paying for the report the school will view its recommendations as optional and may not even read it. They are not required to accept outside reports, only to consider them. That was our experience, unfortunately.</p>
