[QUOTE="4timmy, post: 409640, member: 6553"] Thanks so much for the info. My difficult child's 4th grade teacher was actually the one who instigated the evaluations for an IEP. I didn't even understand exactly what it was at first. I think I was in complete denial for about 2 years. In 5th grade, I got better at it. They wanted to put difficult child in a different school where there was an ED program and I insisted that he finish out the year (there was only 3 months left in the school year). I took our therapist and his intern with me. I really felt like they accommodated him as much as they could, but all of the same rules still applied to him as they did with the other kids. He ended up being suspended 7 times that year. I'm beginning to see, even though maybe a little late, that the wool was pulled over my eyes a little. His IEP reads like the kind of requirements documentation I write at my job. difficult child will do this, difficult child will do that, on and on with a timeline. Then when I get the updates, he's rated on his progress. If I didn't feel so anxious and rushed through those darned meetings, I could do better at telling them what I'd like for it to say. The teacher called me a week ahead and said we need to meet next week... and it just wasn't a good week for us. I tried to get her to reschedule and she said they had a deadline to get them all in. We were all sick the day of, so I called again and tried to reschedule and she only offered to do a conference call. I know.... advocate. .... get one! [/QUOTE]
