[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 360291, member: 805"] Don't worry about wishing you had found us years ago. You are here now and we are here to help you navigate the system. Interesting that the admin says the staff is off all summer. Our Special Education folks, with the exception of teachers, are considered 11-month employees but I guess every district is different. I've attended a number of IEP meetings over the years in the summer. At this point, my only advice would be, don't push - you don't want any testing rushed here at the end of the year. You want your son to have good, comprehensive academic, social, and psychological testing. A quality, purposeful IEP depends upon it. One thing that was very helpful during the process for my son was to share information with the team from his therapist and his psychologist. Very often they can help lend an air of "professionalism" to the meeting and any of your requests for services or accoms/mods. If there are any issues you feel comfortable his docs sharing with the team, do so. It is a personal decision. My son's therapist actually attending our first IEP meeting and was extremely helpful. When you get a chance, make a profile signature of your situation (the kids, diagnosis's, medications, ect.) like you see at the bottom of our posts. We look forward to getting to know you on the board. Do check out the wrightslaw link that Smallworld gave you. They have tons of information on writing a good IEP. Sharon [/QUOTE]
