The previous school psychologists acted on verbal requests and sent the necessary documents to the parent for permission to test right away.

The parent is wondering why she hasn&#8217;t received anything and is wondering why her child hasn&#8217;t been tested yet. Can the school psychologist or any other district personnel ignore a verbal request from a parent, even if the parent doesn&#8217;t place it in writing? I was under the impression that once a school district staff person has been approached by a verbal request, that the school district has to respond to this request within 15 days of the request, either stating that they will test or not test.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>d:\u00a0 A teacher informed the newly hired school psychologist (the third psychologist this year) that a parent verbally requested that their child be tested to see of the child still <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/blog\/evaluations-school-psychologist-refuses-to-evaluate-is-parent-request-is-verbal-not-writtenverbal-request-vs-written\/\">Continue Reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1342],"tags":[1348],"class_list":["post-21484","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-question","tag-e"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21484"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21484\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21498,"href":"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21484\/revisions\/21498"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
