[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 281819, member: 1550"] Well, I'll give you some advice for next time. Bring an Advocate (you can get a free one through your state's Board of Public Education) and NEVER SIGN ANYTHING UNTIL YOU TAKE IT HOME AND READ IT TEN TIMES...and show it to others (I would have shown the neuropsychologist). Although the educators always try to get hub and I to sign THAT DAY, we just don't do things that way. We sign a week or so later, from home, after we AGREE with what we are signing. And if we don't, we bargain for changes. And we always bring our Advocate, who scares the pants off of them, and we don't accept "no, nothing it wrong" as an answer, when we know there is something wrong. But for now, if you feel they missed the boat, I'd call your state's Dept. of Public Education (usually located in the capital), ask for the Special Needs Advocate, get your own Advocate (ask who that person is in your area) and then I'd tell the story to the person on the other end of the phone. It's ridiculous how school district's expect you to play their way and to agree that they are right. This is your child, not theirs. You know what's best, not them. :angry: Gotta play hardball (we learned) or you can pushed around, and so does your child. [/QUOTE]
