[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 701239, member: 1233"] I am guessing that you are in the DFW area. I was curious so I went looking for advocates and or attorneys who would work for parents in your area. They can be tricky to find. I went to the Tx Dept of Education website and they referred me to COPAA, a group of advocates and attorneys who work for parents. They work all over the US, and here is a link to their search page: [URL]http://www.copaa.org/search/default.asp[/URL] . An advocate or attorney can make this entire process a LOT easier on you and help you keep the focus on your child and his rights to FAPE in LRE. (Free and Appropriate Public Education in Least Restrictive Environment) rather than whatever nonsense the school wants to distract you with. I found that once the school figured out I knew my child's rights and wasn't afraid of or intimidated by them (and I often had 15 or more people at an IEP meeting against just me in a blatant attempt to get me to go along with their stupid, illogical ideas), then my child ended up getting what he needed. I truly think an advocate or attorney would have made it go a lot easier and would have gotten to the point where the nonsense was eliminated far sooner. [/QUOTE]
