[QUOTE="buddy, post: 582066, member: 12886"] Trust yourself! You are excellent and know your stuff. You always share and advise tactfully and accurately. Stick with the law, and make it clear that they're not exempt. The stinky thing so many of us have faced is even if we force them to get an IEE or write a new great plan, if they don't want our kid they're not going to do it. Our kids lose out being set up, treated poorly, and having their self -esteem ruined in addition to being poorly educated. At some point the parents will have to decide if their kid has a chance. It's so unfair. But with someone like you supporting them they will hear all the options and be able to make informed choices. I know a woman who had her due process scheduled, one call from the advocate to the sp ed director and she got the placement she wanted. I called recently and her deaf-blind medically fragile daughter, who the district said was just too cognitively impaired at age 4 to be in a deaf blind class (how stupid is that?) Is signing! She uses an ipad (low vision not completely blind) and starting to interact with kids. Advocates can help cut through the b.s. just by pointing out the truth! You go girl, you rock all the way around. You know your limits and will be able to provide them with choices. I have all the faith in the world in you. [/QUOTE]
