[QUOTE="Martie, post: 22793, member: 284"] Around here your PH is a husband (dear husband) LOL AP I have never seen outside the context of advanced placement. It is a bit late, but what you should have done is sent a CERTIFIED letter to the Superintendent of Schools requesting a initial evaluation that is complete and legally correct. The letter would start a 60 day time-line. Your SD's ignorance is not an excuse and they are violating your son's rights under [20 U.S.C § 1414 [i]et seq.[/i]] Unless there is an evaluation, you cannot have a meeting, called by various names in different states, that will decide if your difficult child is a "student in need of special education." If he is, then an IEP will be written. You can suggest goals and objectives that you think are appropriate--the SD does not have to accept them, but in a well working IEP meeting, if they did not like yours, they would state why and propose alternatives. It is not legal for a SD to come to the meeting with the IEP written although it happens frequently. I just posted the link to the "Getting Stated Thread" for JJJ. It's on page 3 of the Archives of Sp Ed 101. If you strike out at this meeting, you need in my opinion to start reading up on law and make sure your SD follows it. It is a lot of work to learn law but many parents here are effective advocates for their difficult children. My favorite law site is [url="http://www.wrightslaw.com"]http://www.wrightslaw.com[/url] It is both authoritative and parent friendly. Good luck with the meeting--let us know what happens.
