[QUOTE="Mickey2255, post: 113891, member: 3720"] Martie, Too bad you can't pound all our school administrators in that class too...but the psychiatric's are a start I suppose! I do own all three of the Wright's Law books and attended a 2 day boot camp this summer. I went to that September IEP meeting with all my goals written in "SMART" format. My son's Sylvan director attended the boot camp with me and then his IEP meeting. They showed up with a pre-written IEP and basically just said NO to everything I asked or tried to get an explanation for. A well respected advocate looked at the IEP after and said it was one of the worst she'd ever seen. We got so steam-rolled it wasn't even funny. That's why this time I asked for a mediator to be present for the discussion. I'm hoping a mediator won't let them just flat out refuse every single comment or request by me. I negotiate for a living and have taken many classes on successful negotiation skills. What I've never learned though is how to negotiate with people that won't talk! Reminded me of when my son was 2 and would just scream "no, no, no, no..." until I would walk away or give up. I guess it really is a successful strategy! Again, thanks so much for your help and interest! Michelle [/QUOTE]
