[QUOTE="Shari, post: 230400, member: 1848"] I am not terribly familiar with this process, tho I'm learning. We don't have an advocate yet (the holidays have delayed that process, also). He had an IEP from this district for the earliy intervention preschool they sent him to, which was wonderful, so they are somewhat familiar with him, and other than fighting the 1:1 for kindergarten, they have been helpful. *** They asked if I would consider signing the paperwork tomorrow to start the evaluation process and then go ahead with the review of existing data. They are hoping to be able to start him next week, and have told me they are working with the special education staff and para's to get things in place, partly (this part is off record) because they know us and the situation and the director is 99% sure he's going to need the IEP. (small town America, this is the same staff that dealt with his bio dad). While this won't be the actual IEP, from my understanding, they are going to work to try to understand what he needs in order to get started. I think its a good thing....? *** The people I am bringing in person are three of his teachers from the Motessori school; the teacher/director that handled him extremely well, the teacher that tried but could not, and the teacher that he hated and created such a problem for us. While she and I don't see eye to eye, I think her experiences with him may be valuable to others to see/hear how he can react. Aside from that, she's the hard-lined one, and she couldn't get him to do squat. I have one of his docs by phone, the former in-home, and the 1:1 from the Montessori (she will probably not call in, but will be available for us to call her if they want to). I figure these are the ones who've had the most interaction with him and can back the need for the 1:1 thru personal experience with him, half of them in the educational setting. [/QUOTE]
