[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 409658, member: 1233"] O. M. Freaking G. His IEP is a list of what HE will and won't do with NOTHING about how to help him get to that point??? He is held to the same rules as everyone else? What about things like talking in class and not sitting still - things that he is likely to be largely UNABLE to do - ESPECIALLY if he is bored - and are DIRECT manifestations of his disability???? Not understanding the language likely means he is CLOSE TO COMPLETELY INCAPABLE of doing almost everything they are asking of him - except that they are not asking they are DEMANDING!!!!! It is WAY past time for MOMMA to take an evening and a notepad and READ the sp ed archives on this forum, paying close attention to things that relate to any and all problems he has or has had in the past. It is INCREDIBLY likely that they have violated his rights on many many many things. Not the LEAST of which is done by not giving you WRITTEN NOTICE OF THE MEETING TEN DAYS AHEAD OF TIME. They also HAVE to adjust to reasonable meeting date changes to fit YOUR schedule. It is great if you can meet at a time that is convenient for them, but if you cannot - they cannot penalize you for this. Also, if you have time and issues you have questions about, check out the wrightslaw website (they write great books about sp ed law and are an awesome resource. I once cowed twelve people at an IEP meeting by bringing in my Wrightslaw book with postits sticking out and opening it to check on ONE thing. Even the district dir of sp ed stopped her koi when I asked her to give me a second and started going through my tabs.

People who want to trample on your rights often take a step back wehn they think you have the documentation to stop them. At least here they do.
