[QUOTE="slsh, post: 462652, member: 8"] If you do not show up for the IEP mtg, they can do whatever they want, *without* your input, and voila... it's an IEP. I've lived in WA, and no, they don't have you sign the IEP. I believe it's assumed that the finished document is approved since it's ... well, finished. :winking: It's *really* important for you to go to the mtg and document, document, document. Most of the IEP mtgs I ever attended had a separate sheet for comments/discussion - of course, written by an SD employee, but still there was documentation. If you don't get that, or if you do not feel it appropriately reflects discussion during IEP mtg, you should send a certified letter stating your understanding of discussion, as well as the fact that you don't agree with IEP due to A, B, C, as [U]you stated during the IEP mtg.[/U] Request that a copy of your cert. letter be filed in child's permanent school record. Request yet another IEP mtg ... and keep on requesting until they get it right. I know it's utterly exhausting, demoralizing, frustrating, and nauseating to have to keep beating your head against an inflexible/uneducated/careless IEP team, but the downside of quitting now is that you're going to end up with whatever they decide. If you're not there... your opinion no longer counts. [/QUOTE]
