    Re: Formal vs. informal IEP meetings

    Nothing has changed to my knowledge.

    A formal IEP meeting requires at least 5 day notice (check state regs -- in some states it's 10), specific team members are required, yadda, yadda, yadda.

    There's no such thing as an informal IEP meeting -- never has been since I've been involved in IEP meetings.

    If your talking about an Amendment to the IEP without a full blown meeting, that's different. Minor changes can be made to an IEP as long as the parent agrees in writing.

    God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
