I don't think she's talking about medical treatment in general. Only
about diagnosing learning disabilities. Isn't this a federal law? I know
it is the case in California that the public schools are required to
perform testing if parents request it (of course, how they go about it,
and in what time span, varies), and I've participated in other forums
where teachers from other states indicated this is also the case where
they are from.
