[QUOTE="Martie, post: 5890, member: 284"] Kathy, UNLESS there has been a change in 2004 --and I dont' think there has been, parents can bring anyone with PARTICULAR knowledge of their child to an IEP meeting. You have to provide notice but nothing more. You should not have specified the person's role in your letter. Of course an att'y would takes notes; so would an advocate. Your best companion would be knowledgeable in Special Education law. If this is not possible, then anyone is better tahn going alone. If you have a relative that can go, the "particular knowldge" will not be disputed. In many jurisdictions, you do not have the right to tape without permission of all parties. Most SD will not give permission. I have gone to IEP meetings with very little "particular" information about a child--at least in terms of history--and never been challenged by a SD and I am not an attorney. by the way, Special Education regs PREFERS that neither SD nor parents bring attorneys to IEP meetings--it destroys the cooperative atmosphere (!??!) However, it is a preference, and attorney for either side cannot be barrred. Martie [/QUOTE]
