[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 35498, member: 23"] I don't think much has changed, Marti. I still hear this around our area. The wording in IDEA 2004 is awkward and leaves room for various interpretations. Was anything left out of the IEP that you wanted in? If so, keep in mind that you can call an IEP meeting at anytime. In other words, if difficult child gets off to a rocky start next year, call an IEP meeting. Another avenue. Perhaps you can conference with one of difficult child's teachers that you feel could offer suggestions for transitioning. Then decide if you need to call another IEP meeting before school is out and have those suggestions written in. (FYI, I've been known to invite particular educators to an IEP meeting.) Rather than challenging the sd on issues such as this, I'd caution you to choose your battles wisely. Not to say that transitions are not important -- only you know if this is one of those times that you have to change the course of the IEP. [/QUOTE]
