[QUOTE="Martie, post: 149660, member: 284"] MM, I am sorry you are continuing to have this problem. It may be a small consolation to you that I use your situation in classes as an example of what NOT to do to parents. Here is the answer: the law is silent but the regs PREFER that neither party be represented because it interferes with home school collaboration and as you note, is intimidating. Therefore, you cannot stop them. I would go on noting in writing in the IEP and by post-meeting memos that you feel this is inappropriate as there is no current DP or litigation, and that you feel intimidated. I hope you are not going to meetings alone. I would NEVER do that myself. Taking someone is better than going alone. Is there any chance you can get a local advocate? Sometimes this is more helpful than an att'y in terms of getting a good IEP. Finally, review SMART IEPs on Wrightslaw and get REALLY insistent about objective measurement. This is the ONLY way I know of to hold a SD accountable. Best to you, Martie [/QUOTE]
