[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 325474, member: 1233"] As hard as they are trying to get you to NOT do an IEP, and to get you to find someone else to pay for his help, just giving them a letter asking for an IEP is NOT going to get you anywhere. It doesn't matter that they are nice people. It really doesn't. It is ALL about the $$$. They don't want to give out any more accommodations. Not in writing that they can be held accountable for. If you just give them that letter they will NOT process it. It will NOT get things done. You may waste weeks or months. Send that letter by certified mail return receipt requested. It costs a few bucks. It also LEGALLY protects your son. He can NOT be punished for things caused by his disorders/whatevers during this time frame. It says they have to do their testing and be ready to sit down with you in X number of days, no matter what. It gives you grounds to have the courts order them to do what he needs. If you skip this step you will have to start at square one. The school year is half over. It will take almost 9 weeks to have them finish their testing and meet with you. Do you REALLY want to waste the precious few weeks you would have after the IEP goes into place? Just think about what we are asking. Know that many of us have had "good people" that we asked or emailed or handed a letter to, and that those "good people" ignored them or lost them or whatever and we had to start over, wasting precious academic time. We really DO have experience with this. [/QUOTE]
