Public schools do free screenings in other to qualify for special education or 504 school accommodations. This may only cover students in the district home area and not private school students or adults.
The down side is that some school districts have quotas on how much of the school population can be considered SpEd or 504. But a pediatric psychiatrist can make that determination regardless of the school diagnostician findings to justify accommodations.
Yeah. They figure that SpEd students comprise about a certain percentage of the general population and set their quota based on that.
It’s the same reason that certain racial groups won’t get sent to discipline centers otherwise it seems that there’s too many POC in the alternative school.
