[QUOTE="klmno, post: 157865, member: 3699"] I think you did fine. I am concerned that the draft IEP was signed. If you don't get another one coming to you soon to sign, you need to ask for another meeting. The only thing I'd like to throw out-this might be different at different sd's, but I knew my son needed some one'on'one attention to get caught up at the end of this year and at first thought he would need to stay after school. They switched him from regular study hall class to a class for kids on an IEP, which happens to be run by difficult child's cm. This isn't a real class- more like a special study hall. Anyway, the cm is helping difficult child with work that needed to be caught up and with any class work that difficult child might currently be struggling with. It is amazing how fast it is moving. The assignments that were redundant and difficult child already had a grip on- well the cm has "authority" to throw those out so as not to spend more time on those. difficult child gets a good grade written for them. It is based on "quality" not "quantity". I was surprised that the sd agreed for this- maybe they only did because I was asking for other ways to accomplish the same thing that would actually have cost them more. If you can get an arrangement like this, it seems preferable to giving up a needed core class- like social studies, in my humble opinion. I didn't see anything in your post that sounded too demanding or rude or unreasonable. I think you should stick to your guns. [/QUOTE]
