[QUOTE="Martie, post: 44174, member: 284"] Ditto Sheila. Do NOT go to this meeting without seeing (and having explained if necessary) the psychological evaluation. It is ridiculous to see an evaluation. for the first time while you are supposed to be participating in the meeting. I'm sorry to have lost track, is your difficult child already IEP qualified? If not, you need to be prepared to argue that negative education impact includes social development and behavior. If he already has an IEP, the issue is keeping it in the presence of such high test scores. It is not contradictory to law but some SD try to make it seem so. Education does not equal either PASSING GRADES ONLY or HIGH TEST SCORES only. Every SD has a wonder statement of purpose where they talk about producing well rounded citizens, who are function, employable, help little old ladies across the street, yada, yada, yada... This is often the most effective weapon when faced with a very narrow view of "educational impact." Try to get someone to go with you to take notes. You will need the notes to send your letters of confirmation (or disagreement)--plus you need the moral support. I NEVER went to and IEP meeting alone. Martie [/QUOTE]
