[QUOTE="klmno, post: 383974, member: 3699"] I don't know if it works the same there, but the sd would most definitely have someone there whether they specifically lsited it or not. It is always a rep from each major agency for a kid. Now, here if you go about it this way the parent stays involved. If you don't go about it this way, the sd can take it and meet without you and then come back and tell you what they will do and you will be a noncompliant parent if you don't go along with it. Yes, if it's written in an IEP and the school can't provide it with their own pool of funding, they can go to the team and ask for additional funding from the "bigger pool" in order to provide that service. But since they aren't /haven't done that already, chances are they won't and you sure can't trust them to. That's another reason I think you are a heck of a lot better off going with an Iep and documentation in hand. These are the people who can get something done. Trust me on this- they don't want to dip into the bigger pool if one specific agency should be dealing with it from their own pool.
