[quote=Anonymous]Another who says don't worry about snacks or what you wear.  Also don't worry about smiling, crying and being serious.  Likely this is the first of many meetings you will have with this group of people and over time you will probably get to know many of them pretty well.

These are business meetings and you are there to get work done.  The best preparation is to know what your child's deficits are and develop any ideas that you can about how to address them.  I always go in with a list to be sure that all of my concerns are addressed and that I don't forget anything.

I have been to what feels like a million IEP meetings - I have two kids with special needs, one who has graduated from HS and one in HS.  I have never been in the position to fight for things.  The schools have always been very generous with services and accommodations.  The closest I ever came to "fighting" is that we postponed a goal that I requested from the fourth grade IEP to fifth.  (It was independence in backpack management, which is essential for success in middle and high school).
