[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 19309, member: 23"] by the way, when asking for reports prior to an IEP meeting, I've been told that the can't give them to me because I wouldn't understand them. Frankly, the majority of parents do not have the appropriate training and background to interpret evaluation reports while sitting in an IEP meeting with-4 - 15 people talking. However, in order to participate meaningfully in an IEP meeting, the parent must understand what the reports say. So, if the sd doesn't want to release the reports, I strongly recommend that you set up a meeting with the diagnostician or other appropriate sd professional far enough in advance of the IEP meeting so they can explain it to you -- even if you are just going through the motions. Then take it/them home with you. [/QUOTE]
