I've seen schools that do choose to do evaluations in a room away from the parent, but I'd sure be asking to either be allowed to be in the room or for them to make a video that you can watch. When we had our state's early intervention team here to look at an issue for Ben (which he had already stopped having in the 3 weeks it took to get the eval done) they did a crappy report and wrote up an evaluation that, in my opinion, did not even come close to showing what my son really can and cannot do. When I asked for details about exactly how they assessed certain things, they sure couldn't tell me-just kept saying things like "well I didn't see him kicking much" when they never saw him in any position except sitting up. At least with the video you could refer back and ask where they got their info. IMHO that's the least they can do if they are going to take your 3 year old into a strange room with strange people.
