[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 183843, member: 23"] As a courtesy, I'd let the sd know someone would be accompanying me. If I'm going to take anyone with me, I usually write it in on the "Invitation to IEP meeting" document from the sd and fax it back to them. The parent has the same rights to invite people/professionals to the meeting as the sd. Discussion: Section 614(d)(1)(B)(vi) of the Act allows other individuals who have knowledge or special expertise regarding the child to be included on a childs IEP Team. Section 300.321(c) provides that the determination of the knowledge or special expertise of these individuals must be made by the party (parents or public agency) who invited the individual to be a member of the IEP Team. We continue to believe that this determination is best left to parents and the public agency. We also believe that it would be inappropriate to regulate on the specific knowledge and expertise that an individual must have to be included on an IEP Team because it would be burdensome for both parents and public agencies. Additionally, nothing in the Act prevents parents from consenting to have an observer who is not a member of the IEP Team present at the meeting, as the parent can consent to the sharing of confidential information about the child. With that exception, it should be emphasized that a person who does not have knowledge and special expertise regarding the child and who is not requested to be present at the IEP Team meeting by the parent or public agency would not be permitted to be a member of the IEP Team or be permitted to attend the IEP Team meeting as an observer.
