[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 43259, member: 23"] Hopefully, it won't be as you expect. Hopefully, the testing they have done will put everyone in a position to design an IEP which will improve his ability to perform as expected. The goal is to help the child, and that's where the focus should be kept. The number of school district reps at a meeting can be intimidating, but use it to your child's advantage. The more people in attendance, the better the opportunity that brainstorming for solutions will be successful. No on should attend an IEP meeting alone. Can you get anyone to go to the meeting with you -- a relative, a friend to take notes for you? <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Now I will have to sit in the same room with all these people having them fire all these statements at me on what he does wrong. </div></div> Clearly what they are doing now is not working, so it's time to do something else. You will keep the focus on things like, "What positive behavior interventions are you recommending for the IEP?" If they don't know and you don't know, request that a specialist be brought in. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">As much as I asked to see his behavior records/referrals I was told no. they are too busy this time of year. </div></div> Don't ask. Put the request in writing and send it certified mail. Even with that, the sd likely has a certain period of time within which they must produce the records. In Texas, it is 45 days. You'd have to check your state educational regs to see what the law is in your state. Hang in. School is almost out. Myself -- I can hardly wait. Let us know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
