[QUOTE="justour2boys, post: 502139, member: 6235"] First let me say you do have power... and alot of it. However, you need to understand it and use it correctly. And we are here to help you. Run, don't walk to your nearest library or bookstore and get your hands on some books about Special Education. I can make a recommendation or two if you need one. Then read it cover to cover and you will be very suprised as to your and your childs rights. Also, this is a great web site for special education... [url=http://www.wrightslaw.com]Wrightslaw Special Education Law and Advocacy[/url] Personally, if they are not giving you the ALL information to review prior to the meeting, I would go to the meeting, let them present the info and thank them for their time and ask for the meeting to be tabled until you have read all the material... and do not sign anything. Then review the results and formulate a plan. If she does not qualify for an IEP she can still quailfy for a 504 plan based on her medical diagnosis of depression effecting her school work. So be sure to get this in writing from the psychiatrist at your next appointment. Also, you can look into an IEE, Independant Education Evaluation. But again, you need to educate yourself as to your rights. Do not relay on the school to tell you how to "play" the special education game. Once you know the rules, you will be on equal footing with the school and you will be very suprised how they change their tune. In fact, just take a book about special education to the meeting and set it on the table in front of you and watch!! :) Hugs and know we've got your back!! [/QUOTE]
