[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 6868, member: 23"] I may be misreading this, but an initial evaluation under IDEA regs typically can't be done in one day. Keep in mind that if you do not agree with the sd's evaluation, you can request an IEE. Too often, sds erronously believe adverse impact is identified via grades only. You may want to do additional research on "adverse impact" and/or "educational need." There are a couple of threads in the Special Education Archives regarding adverse impact you may want to reveiw. I never go to an IEP meeting without first having had a chance to review the evaluation report at home -- there's just too much to read and interpret for the average parent to try to do that in my opinion. Sds sometimes will say that they can't release the report because there's no one that has explained it to the parent. This can be a legitimate reason, however, when presented with this scenario a parent would be wise to schedule a meeting with the School psychiatric or Diagnostician so the data can be presented, AND then take it home to digest and make a list of questions you may need answered at the IEP meeting. Writing the IEP is a function of the IEP Committee -- not a supervisor. As the parent, you are a part of the IEP team. You should make any recommendations you feel your child needs. Use a Parent Record of Proposals -- [url]https://web.archive.org/web/20091022131922/http://geocities.com/Athens/Oracle/1580/priornotice.html[/url] will tell you why. The form is at [url]https://web.archive.org/web/20091023001229/http://geocities.com/Athens/Oracle/1580/record_of_proposals_form.html[/url] . Fill it out, check things off as you go. Get a copy of it before you leave the meeting and leave the original with-the sd. [/QUOTE]
