2 ASD Diagnosis, but school will not give that eligiblity

[Guest guest]

Have any of you experienced dealing with a school system who feels

they are more qualified than a neurologist and psychologist (who can

actually diagnosis a child)and will not provide the services

recommended by these highly qualified professionals? They won't even

give my child eligiblity under Autism, they gave us eligiblity under

Significant Devolopemntal Delay for social delays. The only service

he will be receiving is social skill training through ESY (6 hours a

week). I'm not quite sure he'll recieve social skills training when

the new school year begins.

I understand IDEA states the school system only has to take

information provided by the parents into " consideration " when

determining eligiblity, but this has been suspected for 2 years and

finally confirmed by two qualified physicians.

Thanks,
