[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 476490"] Buddy gave you some great ideas as examples. If waiting for things is a problem, list "waiting for......". Same with counting, math, writing. Just list the things in these areas he struggles with. If they don't bring them up at the meeting, you bring them up. Think of anything anyone has commented about that applies to the school/learning environment. Buddy's right, you don't have to write the goals. Just list your concerns and those others have said to you. Let THEM try to figure out how to help him with them. Also, don't sign ANYTHING (except the meeting attendance sheet only IF that is all it is) at the meeting or after. They will give you their findings and "proposed" plan. Take everything home after the meeting and read everything VERY carefully and digest it all. If anything doesn't make total sense to you, ask them to clarify it for you. Our SD didn't write up the proposed IEP until after the meeting so who knows. If there is anything missing or incorrect in their proposal, bring it to their attention. Do NOT sign anything until you are totally satisfied with the whole plan. YOU have final say. Sorry if this is overwhelming you but I learned al this the hard way. That was before I found this board and didn't know better. Knowing now will save you headaches later. You can do this. You know his issues and you know what he will need help with. Just put all your thoughts on paper and share them. Also, make sure you take notes at the meeting. This will help you remember later AND remind you who said what and hold them accountable if they don't follow through. Good luck. You will do fine. Sending supportive, strengthening {{{{(((HUGS)))}}}} your way. [/QUOTE]
