[QUOTE="gabby, post: 128623, member: 4736"] Thank you for replying:happy2: I've gone to all IEP's alone until this school year. I usually left them in tears. The advocate seems knowledgeable - she does. But when we speak she seems to be all over the place - and that makes me nervous. She did well at the IEP she accompanied me to - she actually got the team to agree to retest my son earlier than was indicated. And she was very thorough when reviewing all of his past IEP's. Yet, I fret. This is my child's future. His current IEP goals are measureable - the advocate made sure that happened at the meeting in Oct. Some of the previous goals were vague. I do take issues with the goals though, because my son has very poor retention. Fine, he meets the goals - which is good, great, and wonderful according to the school, because he is making "progress". But I disagree because down the road it's lost, literally as if he has never learned it. They don't, or won't, take that into consideration. This is a good idea. Perhaps I could incorporate retention as a marker of progress as well. I'd forgotten that the advocate had mentioned mediation several months back. I am so frustrated and overwhelmed it seems I'm just jumping right to the end. bah. Thank you for the info, I appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
