[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 451032"] I agree with what has been said so far. First, get to know your laws. I found ours under our state's Dept of Education. On their site I searched for Special Education Laws. It was a little complicated to read in places but I gained some knowledge. Second, get an advocate. Someone with Special Education knowledge like a SpEd teacher, PACER advocate (if there is one in your state), someone from the Dept of Ed. Third, every idea you present and they shoot down tell them you'd like their denial, with reasoning, put into writing. This tactic scared our school reps enough to watch what they denied. Go in with a recorder, seriously. They will be even more careful to not just push your ideas aside. Put everything you have in a 3-ring binder. Every report you have ever had done, every email you have gotten regarding Webster's condition, documentation of every phone call you have ever gotten from them, etc. At the meeting, take copious notes. That also unnerves them a little. Knowing that what they say is being recorded and noted might make them a little more copperative. And That is VERY good advice. If they refuse them, then you tell them you want ALL their objections and reasons IN WRITING. Good Luck. You HAVE come to the right place. There isn't much that many people here have not dealt with. I would definitely post over on the SpEd forum. Welcome to our little (actually not so little and growing) family. You won't be disappointed. {{{{(((HUGS)))}}}} [/QUOTE]
