[QUOTE="klmno, post: 71613, member: 3699"] We had another IEP meeting yesterday- much to my surprise, they had a social worker and school psychiatric there. The team agreed to include more in the IEP than just monitoring behavior, then asked my permission for the school psychiatric to do her own evaluation of difficult child (observation, interview of him, etc.). I told them I would think about it. It could be beneficial but it makes me a little worried because 1) this person is an "Educational Specialist", not really a psychiatric or psychiatrist, 2) they have been trying to cover their a---s since they know I spoke with- an attny and she could just say that she sees no mental/emotional disability, 3) if the lithium is working, how can she determine a diagnosis opinion? 4) what if she tries to dispute psychiatrists diagnosis (who has been seeing difficult child for over 18 mos and monitored him for about 8 weeks this summer after taking him off all medications) They did have me sign the notice of the meeting, but they've always had me sign an agreement/permission form to implement the IEP any time it has been reviewed and modified, too. So far, any time I haven't signed that agreement, they held another IEP meeting to discuss my concerns with it and they've pretty much given in to what I want- albeit not completely but enough for me to agree.
