[QUOTE="mistmouse, post: 15597, member: 289"] Martie, You bring up important points. I have made it policy to read the IEP before leaving, although it is usually after the end of the meeting, but with the caseworker and other personnel who are entering it into the computer. I didn't handle it too well yesterday. When presented with the "attendance" sheet to sign after the meeting ended and most of the IEP team had left the room, I should have written a note on there that I was not signing as I had not been given a chance to read the IEP nor had it been read back to me after it was typed in. So, should I ask for another IEP meeting to make sure that the corrections are noted with the presence of the IEP team, and therefore will be more likely to be included in anything given to the teachers working with my daughter? As for the memo of understanding regarding the verbal agreement regarding CPI training and such, there was an email that was sent to the SD's attorney that was on the phone and made the agreement and CC to several other attornies in that firm that have worked either independently or together with said attorney. It was also CC to me. The email was never disputed. What took place yesterday was a dance around the issues and the stand that the CPI training had been reviewed and was adequate, and that the failure is with documentation of any de-escalation techniques due to my wanting a report on the same day. I am able to get a half page typed incident report that may go into detail about the mood my child was in, to her actions prior to a redlight being called, and great detail about what she did or said after a redlight was called. What I am not getting is where it says she had any positive prompts to stop the behavior (which is in her BIP), or any attempts at redirection that don't include a threat. The reports indicate she exhibits some behavior such as crumpling a paper, the teacher calls a redlight and then the SpEd teacher comes in from the resource room to assist the 1:1 aide in removing my daughter from the room. The report is written by the SpEd teacher who was not even in the room until the redlight was called. I will have to try my best to rectify my mistake of signing anything yesterday, although I did signify it was to show attendance only. The discussion at the meeting was fairly good regarding how these evaluations are impacting my daughter, but now I need to make sure it is captured that way. So, after reflecting on this and with your reminders, I am going to write a letter requesting another IEP meeting. My daughter's annual IEP meeting comes up in May, and I doubt I will get another meeting before then. I am concerned about the disregard for putting it in writing that the testing does indicate auditory processing and visual/motor deficits, and how that impacts academics and behaviors. I guess in spite of all I have been through with this SD they can still take me by surprise by abruptly ending an IEP meeting and presenting me with the typed IEP and all members of the team leaving the room, with the exception of the one attorney who presented me with the sign in sheet as she was preparing to leave the room. I should know better. mistmouse [/QUOTE]
