[QUOTE="PollyParent, post: 87069, member: 3822"] I just got off the phone with the Director of Special Education, who will be attending the IEP. I told her essentially what I was looking for, a more structured day, social skills training, upping the curricular "rigor" in a one-on-one setting and then using the classroom experience as a test of his social skills, and having text books on computer. Was a little nervous about what her response would be, and that I was giving her time to prepare a significant rebuttal to my requests. I was on the phone with her regarding an entirely separate issue, and then she mentioned that she would be at the IEP, and I asked why, she told me (evaluation of a district employee) and then she asked how combative I expected the IEP to be, and then I told her what I was going to request. I have a singular relationship with her as I am also a Board member. It's all a bit odd. She indicated that with the exception of finding someone who was really qualified in social skills training, that nothing I had brought forward was surprising and that the District would be saying yes to most everything. We'll have to work out in the IEP some particular issues regarding his aide, the scheduling of my son's day, and how exactly we are going to implement the social skills training part. I was pretty pleased. Lest any of you think that I'm getting this because I'm a Board member, uh, no. If anything it's been harder to get services for my son because the SD doesn't want to be seen as favoring the child of a Board trustee. And then I have the unequaled pleasure of having my son's last IEP addendum contents leaked to the town newspaper. Joy of joys. The paper didn't print the details, but the editor did tell me over the phone that "he knew everything there was to know about my son" while congratulating himself that he hadn't yet printed anything. I FAXed him a copy of the Federal student privacy laws. Now he's angry at me. Yay. I still have a he77 of a lot of work to do before tomorrow morning, but I'm feeling less nervous about the meeting itself. I'm not really a fan of IEPs. I'm not sure that anyone on this board is.
