How to proceed with testing/the district?

We/my son's 2nd grade teacher think he might have ADD or some other LD due to inattentiveness in class. (I'm also suspecting something such as CAPD, due to his speech progress.)

I contacted our pediatrician who referred us to an independent psychologist/educational evaluator who we've made an appointment with and who is scheduled to observe our son at the end of this month (11/28/07).

After reading more about what we're entitled to under IDEA/504, etc. I am worried that the district could deny whatever this independent dr. recommends.

With that said, should we also request, in writing of course, that the district does its own full evaluation w/in the required 60-day time period just to be safe??

My son was evaluated for speech last year in 1st grade but didn't test poorly enough to get speech classes in school. I believe some his current "benchmarks" are meeting the required level, but in some of the other tests the district conducts he has done poorly in.

We don't want him to fall in the cracks as seemingly a lot of kids do who aren't meeting these "worst case" scenarios. We are also concerned that waiting any longer for tests will just prolong the issue.

I contacted the pych. of the district and she said to schedule a "campus intervention meeting." Would this be our alternate next step in asking for him to be re-evaluated, as listed in the IDEA literature?

I just want to be prepared for everything!

I appreciate your help!
