[QUOTE="Shari, post: 411214, member: 1848"] the list of things they are looking for is SOP for an IEP. If they do their evaluation and you disagree, you can request an independent evaluation that they have to pay for done by an independent outside party. And I think you have to all agree on the outside party. I assume you have to let them do their evaluation first, tho, but i don't know that for sure. They do NOT have to accept any documentation you give them, regardless of what docs or experts did them. They can choose to accept it, but just because you have it, and it says your dtr has this this and this diagnosis, doesn't mean they have to accept it at face value. Just like you don't have to accept what they "say". I'm with the others, tho. Get an advocate. AND an attorney, if you can. Get a SPED attorney, tho, cause school district have SPED attorneys, and most general attorneys don't know sped law well enough to cover you. Has been my experience that just stating you have counsel makes a difference. But don't make that statement if you don't really have counsel to back it up. [/QUOTE]
