[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 159354, member: 2423"] Karen, I'm sure Martie and Sheila, the co-mods of this forum, will be along shortly, but you should be aware that the guidance counselor cannot determine IEP eligibility on her own. There is a process, mandated by federal law, that must be followed, and it begins with a certfied letter sent by you to the principal of your son's school asking for an evaluation for the purposes of qualifying for Special Education services. The decision is made by an IEP team that includes school administrators and you, the parent(s). To get you started on learning Special Education law, I recommend checking out the website [URL="http://www.wrightslaw.com"]www.wrightslaw.com[/URL]. The more you learn, the better you'll be prepared to advocate for your son. [/QUOTE]
