[QUOTE="buddy, post: 485049, member: 12886"] They are supposed to give you the report first. Good that you called. IF they do not do that, then they should have two meetings...one to discuss results (and it is ok to make general suggestions/goals) and another to write the IEP so you can process and formulate questions before having to come up with all of the goals on the spot. I have been in situations where we do it all at once, yes it is more convenient, but it is not fair to a parent to expect them to process that much. And just logistically, going through point by point each thing in an evaluation will use up all of the meeting time. It will also give you a chance to proof read anything in the evaluation. by the way, make sure you do read the little details, birthdays, dates of things, names of any possible medications or illnesses that might be wrong.... those reports are used for future re-evaluations so it will be important to have things right. They can easily make changes. If they present a draft IEP at the results meeting, just do NOT sign off on anything. They will respect that. (should I guess I should say). Though you know there is something going on, and it will be a relief to get the support, it is still emotional to finally see it in black and white. So, if it hits you emotionally dont worry, that is normal for sure. And it is hard to process through all of the interventions, even if they sound wonderful. You legally have time. I truly hope they give you the report. I always make meetings for after I give a parent the written report and ask for feedback before the meeting. I expect that from the team for Q too. Set the bar now, smile. sounds like these are good people and are happy they found answers. But you still have rights and time to make sure the program that is going to impact him from now on is done just the way you want. Remember you can always run things by the board! so happy for you and Carson. You are right, help is coming... good job mom. [/QUOTE]
