[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 407768, member: 1991"] Hi again. I'm not sure where your first post went to, mine is now left hanging! To start a new thread, go back to the main forum (General is a good one to start with), go to the top of the page and click on "new post". It's in a big button. Give it a heading of your choice (such as "IEP query" or "How can I get the school to help?") then start writing your question or concern. Just follow the steps. Now, the right person to give your written request to - the main point is to make sure it is received officially. You give it to someone who will make sure the request is followed through with. The janitor is not the right person, for example. I've handed mine to the school principal, or the class teacher, or the school counsellor, or even the office secretary. Not always IEP request in our case - sometimes it as just formal paperwork to do with medication at school or some other concern (such as my long-running battle over the school's discipline policy). The aim is for you to have a record that you have ensured the school received your request in writing. You have a copy proving it was received, so if the person who received it did not pass it on to the correct person for action, it is the school's problem, not yours. What you can do is go to the school and ask them, "Who is the right person to give this to, to ensure it is actioned?" If you have your copy, you have proof the school received your request. If the school claims to have lost it or the right person didn't see it - not your problem. You have proof they were asked on a certain date, you can go over their heads and say, "they have not met their legal requirement in responding to my request for an IEP." The school will know you can do this. If they don't, they deserve the rap over the knuckles they will get. Marg [/QUOTE]
