[QUOTE="SaraT, post: 116474, member: 2270"] If you feel they are pushing you around, then you have 2 choices in my humble opinion. 1. Get an advocate to go with you to the next IEP meeting. 2. File a letter of complaint with the state. I personally would do (and have done) both. The school must follow the letter of the IEP, and if they do not it is a violation and too many letters of violation to the state and the state will step in and investigate.(I am not sure how many times the school has to be reported before the state investigates.) I am sorry I am not closer to go with you. I have had to get an advocate several times. Now my difficult child is at a clinic that has a case manager(liason person) who goes with me to the IEP meetings. The school can NOT put things in the IEP without your approval. You can simply tell them you did not approve that item and refuse to sign the IEP. The prior IEP is then still in place. If the school then takes it out on difficult child, file a lawsuit and write another letter to the state. Its hard, but sometimes when a school is not helping you have to step in and be a nightmare to them for them to realize you cannot be pushed around and you know your rights. I am sending you armor and a hug. [img]:warrior:[/img] [/QUOTE]
