[QUOTE="nvts, post: 124597, member: 3814"] Ok, so she's an idiot. They proved that last year so now you're going to have your time to shine. Go prepared, with your head held high knowing that you are advocating for your son. That being said: Do you have access to an advocate? It would probably be in your best interest to go there with your own group. I for one would enlist any psychiatrist or therapist that he works with. Appeal to their "kindness factor" and see if they will attend. If you don't have an advocate, it's time to get one so that you don't have to reinvent this wheel again next year. Try searching "free childrens advocates name of state". (I don't know where you live otherwise I'd do it for you!). Here are a few questions: 1. do you have an advocate? 2. spec. ed attorney (many of these are pro-bono) 3. does difficult child have a Functional Behavior Analysis and Behavior Intervention Plan? 4. what is in the IEP for their issues that they're complaining about (behavior, performance, etc.?) 5. gather all of your correspondence with the school in date order including notes from teachers, administration etc. 6. write down the gist of all phone conversations (with dates if possible) and log all agreements that have been made verbally. DO NOT AGREE TO A MEETING UNTIL YOU'RE ON TOP OF YOUR GAME. IF YOU'RE SICK YOU'RE EASY PREY!!! Let us know and I'm sure that Sheila and Martie will happen along with their usual brilliant information. I love it that she didn't realize that she cc'd you! By the way, did you contact the Spec. Ed Director? What did that letter look like? Stand tall, you haven't done anything wrong! Beth PS: Feel better! From the sound of her e-mail you're fighting a battle of wits against an unarmed principal! me [/QUOTE]
