[QUOTE="slsh, post: 48022, member: 8"] I have to throw in here that I believe it depends on state re: signatures. In 3 different states we've lived, I have *never* had to sign for an IEP to go into effect. We sign in at the beginning of the meeting to show we were there, and that's it. If we hammer out an acceptable IEP, then we're done. If not, there's a page as part of the IEP mtg that documents discussions and should indicate that you do not agree. I have been known to send in my own documentation of discussions that weren't contained on the form the district fills out (I always give them 10 days to inform me in writing if they disagree with- my recollection of mtg, and I *always* request that my documentation be added to kiddo's permanent file). You do sign consent when they perform initial and triannual evaluations, but that's not the IEP. However, as a member of the IEP team, you must agree with- the IEP. If you don't, it isn't an IEP. I would strongly suggest you sit down and document your recollection of the mtg, including your suggestions and objections, and forward to the sped director. Since you do not agree with- the IEP as written at last mtg, it's not in effect. (Certified mail - *always*) Also, you should have a copy of the IEP and all relevant testing - I don't leave IEP mtgs without them. Check your state regulations - in IL they have XX days to get requested copies of records out (can't remember specifics, thank goodness!!). They cannot charge you for these copies. Again, request in writing via certified mail copies of *proposed* IEP since it sounds like you don't agree with- the draft as written at last IEP mtg. [/QUOTE]
