  1. Dear Morgan,
    HI! Thanks for asking questions and advocating for your client and your education.

    I guess I have a few questions:

    1. How old is the child?
    2. Was a full evaluation performed?
    3. What was the basis, if there was a full assessment performed, for picking up the child?
    4. Can we assume their is an IEP? That is a legal document, if there is one, so that would tell you a lot of information

    There are many more questions, but those are the big ones. If there was not an evaluation completed, and the child is in a public school, is the therapist formally seeing them (so is there an IEP) or are they just informally trying to get more information to do possibly do a full eval (if needed). The reason I bring up “public school” because if you are in a private setting, that is a different matter and different rules (in many cases). Again, I don’t know all of the details so I can’t say what is going on that is ethical or not. I know it is not ethical to pull a child out of classes without a process being followed (screening a child, evaluations, formal therapy, IEP, observing, etc).

    Sorry, it is hard to make ethical comments about a case that we know very little about.
    Let me know if you want to talk more about this.
    With compassion and kindness,
    Scott
