[QUOTE="totoro, post: 46363, member: 3155"] Well the school meeting went well, I had posted a bit about it under the general forum. The principal, psychologist, K teacher and Special Education teacher were all in attendance. They suggested an AID/Shadow... the psychologist said I think a 504 plan is a good idea. I basically told them all of her strentghs and weaknesses. I also let it be known that all of her diagnosis's and evalls suggest interventions as well as IEP/504 Plans. THe meeting went well I was not defenses and we had a really nice talk... So I e-mailed the principal and psychologist just to make sure we were "clear" that the school does pay for the aid and that we were going to start the 504 proccess and if there was a problem we could do the IEP. I tried to make it sound as if I was just doing "whatever" and "kind of dumb" and just wanted to help difficult child. So whatever they thought would help the process to run smoother... Didn't hear back for a couple of days... SO I e-mail just to make sure they recieved it. I then say I talked to difficult child's pediatrician and she thought the aid and iether 504/IEP plan was needed. I also reminded them that we have various treatments plans from the neuro-psychiatric, that could help with all of these decisions, this is the same nueropsych they would would use. I also nicely said I was going to be talking with my advocate regarding what she though we should do and if we needed to start on the IEP proccess I could. I made it all sound chipper and nice... no threats. So this is the reply today Hi xxxxx, I did get your e-mail but needed to touch base with our director about your question on funding. The aide through xxxxx agency is generally through Medicaid. xxxx has offered to call you to walk through the steps of our process, and just to "meet" you! When xxxxxx starts school in September we'll have the opportunity to see what her needs might be in the educational setting, gathering data for the first few weeks to determine what accommodations or instruction would be required to ensure her success, and then meet as soon as a team again. What would be helpful is to have the various agency reports available to us, so we wouldn't need to wait for that part of the process, if 504 plan accommodations are needed. We could either get copies released from you directly or if we need to contact the various agencies, you would need to sign release forms for each one, which I can fill out. Thanks - xxxx I don't think I should just be sending them my reports??? RIght??? I guess I should just start on the IEP path now. Is that what it seems like to all of you. I know you said so before, but now it really seems like it?!?!!? Because at first they were concerned with her doing well from day one and now... hmm. My other question is, now that it is getting towards the end of school, if I start the proccess, will it contine through summer or pick up in the fall? I am just wondering if there is any chance of this being in place by the start of school? Part of my problem is I am fighting husband and my own stupidity at not wanting to deal with this when I know I need to... Thanks- I finally see the light [/QUOTE]
