[QUOTE="slsh, post: 405307, member: 8"] I cannot find a specific timeline re: how long they have to get you a copy after it's been written, but I've never left an IEP mtg without a copy of the new IEP. There is wording that the copy of the IEP must be provided to you at no cost. You should send a certified letter requesting a copy of the 12/16/2010 IEP - there's a timeline on that, I'm thinking 10 days once they receive request. As far as implementing IEP, only reference I could find is annoyingly vague - "as soon as possible". Once you get the copy of the IEP, you can do a couple things if you feel it's not being implemented: A) Request an IEP mtg to review your areas of concern, or B) Send another certified letter to SD stating that items X, Y, and Z on IEP are not being implemented and asking them to provide those services/modifications as specified on the 12/16/2010 IEP. The role of the autism specialist should be documented on the IEP very specifically, i.e. 30 minutes consultation to classroom teacher per month, or whatever. If her services are not documented on the IEP as a related service, she's not involved. I know you can get the specifics of what amt of time, if any, she's spent working on behalf of your son. When I felt my son was not receiving the specified amt of services from Occupational Therapist (OT)/ST/Speech Language Pathologist (SLP), I requested the actual logs (via sped director) from those therapists, documenting dates and times spent with- him or in classroom on his behalf. Unfortunately, it sounds like you are going to have monitor them more closely, with documentation. I'd avoid phone conversations - send certified letters. If you do end up having a phone conversation, document that conversation in a letter of understanding (certified) to the individual you spoke with, with a copy to sped director, and request that your letter of understanding be placed in your son's permanent file. If the word processor was included in last year's IEP, it should have been provided last year. In my experience, you cannot wait for them to contact you. You are going to have to be an advocate for your son and stay on the SD until the services as specified in the IEP are provided.
