[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 221924, member: 1697"] If it is not how you want it, I would not sign it, simple as that. If they need to reconvene to make it how you want it, so be it. If they NEED to have it well, then they bettter hurry. DO not sign one that is incorrect or that you want changed. You never know when something will pop up, some crisis, some emergency, whatever. I found in our due process hearing, our district tried hard to slide very old outdated IEPS across to hearing officer, or ones with pages missing.....or ones that were very blurred and then they tried to say it said this and that when MY copy said osmething else entirely. I learned in nurseing school to always always make sure things are written in clear concise manners, leaveing NO room for misinterpretation, guessing or errors. JUst becuz YOU know what something SHOULD say does not mean joe schmo will know, especially if joe schmo was not at the meeting. I also found that my difficult children IEP was useful years LATER for disability benefits....and for transition programs (transition into adulthood type programs, NOT "school") --- BUT by this time, these places are not going to want me to interpret what supposedly was said dureing any meeting, they will go by what IS on paper, in print, and they will take THAT as gospel. Hopefully uou will NEVER reach the adverserial levels we did with your school......but I am thinking of courts, gals, etc.....and future school personnel. It will be ever somuch better to do what you have to do NOW to push to get it all written correctly BEFORE you sign it. If they do not like haveing it be unsigned, then maybe they will hurry and tend to the matter correctly and in a timely fashion, so you feel comfortable signing it. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
