[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 269831, member: 1233"] Jen, You are AWESOME!!!!! I am SOOO not surprised they already mailed you the notice of a new meeting date. Or that they tried to give you the info and have you meet with them the same day. That is a trick our middle school tried to pull. AFTER they introduced me to the TWELVE people in the meeting!!! (2 of whom admitted they didn't know my child or anything about IEPs!, ROFL!!) Please be aware that if a teacher or other school employee says your child had to have medications to come to school then the SCHOOL must PAY for the medications. And they can NOT use your insurance company!!! Here if a teacher even SUGGESTS medication they get a reprimand. They can suggest evaluation, but NOT anything specific. Even saying herbs will help can, in some areas, make the school responsible for footing the bill. A lot of it depends on how they word it, but if it is a condition of attending school then the school must pay for it and the doctor visits. I think you are doing a great job. Be SuRE you have pics of difficult child on the presentation - often in meetings they seem to forget it is a child, or worse yet which child. I found putting a small photo of difficult child on the pages to be invaluable. It brought the focus off the school and its budget and other problems and kept it on my child. [/QUOTE]
