Can I ask for very specific kinds of assessments – such as a neurological examination or a non-oral assessment?
Yes, you can ask for specific assessments. The district has the responsibility for assessment in all areas related to the suspected disability. If there is no district person competent to carry out certain kinds of evaluation, the district may contract out for the service or may use the results of any available independent assessment. See Sample Letter at the end of this chapter. The medical treatment services of a physician are not required of special education, but the medical diagnostic services of a physician are required if necessary to determine a child’s medically related disability that results in the child’s need for special education and related services. [34 C.F.R. Sec.
