[QUOTE="jal, post: 354964, member: 3477"] klmno, I'm sorry this is one more thing for you to have to worry about. We personally have never been asked to sign an IEP. Once we set a verbal date with the SD for the next meeting we always receive a letter with-the date of the meeting and a guide book with-our rights. We have an IEP on Monday and I received a lovely letter thanking us from the Dir. of Pupil Services with another copy of our current IEP and the changes made last time in preparation for this meeting. (I also was given a copy of the IEP after the last meeting - mailed). My son currently is not mainstream due to his educational placement, but even so this is handled by the SD that covers mainstream and even when he was mainstream we always got documentation way ahead of time (also with-a pamphlet of our rights). Like I said we have NEVER, EVER been asked to sign an IEP. We live in an area that I think is lucky to have a smaller teacher to student ratio and (I think) a smaller group of kids that need special assistance/IEP's. I think that has made a huge difference. If I was in a larger area I would have probably had to fight like h#ll for the accommodations my son receives. It was a bit tough cracking the ceiling to get in (we started before K), but once we did, we've been so fortunate to receive nothing but the best of services and cooperation. Also, I think we were lucky to get in before the financial crisis hit. If we didn't - I don't know that he'd have access to what he has. I really think here I am in the minority for people that have had positive experiences with their SD's. [/QUOTE]
