[QUOTE="Tau, post: 38375, member: 3680"] Just wanted to update everyone! We went to the meeting, where daughter's caseworker and speech therapist, speech intern and her classroom teacher were present. The instructional specialist, who was supposed to be there, was in the hospital today because of kidney stones - but we proceeded without him. I was very happy with how receptive everyone was. They all seemed surprised by the limitations of the 504, and were very willing to extend daughter's IEP so that we could include her other ADHD accommodations - even if it meant that her speech therapist "monitored" her classroom speech, 20 minutes a month. She stated that she was willing to do this for as long as daughter was in elementary school. We ran out of time, because daughter's classroom teacher needed to get back to her students. Her input had been so helpful, volunteering things that we should include, that I hadn't considered, that we wanted her presence for the rest of it - and we will all be reconvening tomorrow morning. This is great for me as well! We can look over the IEP form to see what other services are listed and I now have more time to read through the archive that Sheila directed me to. I appreciate everyone's advice more than you can know. While daughter's meeting is going so smoothly, I believe we will have a little more resistance when we try to establish a new IEP for DS. I submitted my formal letters (using the sample letter that is often linked to from here) to the principal and the school and I'm sending the certified copy to the district today. We're hitting the ground running, and I couldn't have done it as well without this site! [/QUOTE]
