[QUOTE="selfadvocate, post: 260530, member: 7147"] We are going thru a requested re-evaluation for our son who is in high school and was initially evaluated with ADHD 8 years ago, and has been in Special Education since. Our ARD has reconveined twice last month and awaiting to continue any day now, we have not agreed or disagreed, we just need more time to take it in consideration. There is NOTHING wrong with taking a "recess" or "adjourn" until the next day if needed. I would DEFINITELY AT LEAST get you an advocate to be in the ARD with you or on the phone that you feel comfortable with. our son was lacking his medications most of this school year due to finances and was issued a truancy court order to be withdrawn from public school and get his GED [B]without[/B] "due process" (mediation to determine what was in his best interest before alternate educational plan was administered). I would get in contact (if you have no advocate other than yourself) with [url]www.advocacyinc.org[/url], they were going to help us but we instead have retained a law firm for our situation. Just remember YOU will always be your childs advocate and the IEP/ARD is NOT complete UNTIL EVERYONE is in 100% Agreeance and sign off at the end of your ARD. I will try to hang in and help where I can, best to you and your child. YOU ARE YOUR CHILDRENS ADVOCATE and cannot be overruled, there is "Due Process". [/QUOTE]
