I would never trust my school district to do something so important. I went 
outside for both Dom and Ali. Medicaid paid for Dom's at Children's Hospital 
and my dh's insurance paid for 50% of Ali's with a guy who specialized in 
Autism. If Medicaid hadn't covered Dom's, I would have paid for it out of 
pocket. If 
you go outside, you can control the information. If you do get school to pay 
for it, they are entitled to all information the doc has, including trisomy 
stuff. I did send info to the school district, but only because it showed 
information that the school was trying to deny, like Dom's LDs and Ali's autism.
