[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We dropped our IEP because the meetings went so poorly and 30 minutes of group speech is a waste of time when its not related to my child.  In less you hire an advocate you will get no where and I'd rather spend the money on therapies.[/quote]

Even with an advocate they can be a beast. Sometimes the advocate goes rogue and rides off on her own crazy ideas when you thought you had come to an agreement or you make it distinctly clear you want her to behave by using her respectful voice and body language and instead she antagonizes everyone in the room, rolls her eyes at them, yells at them and does whatever else while you try to reign her in without making it appear you 2 are no longer on the same team. Even worse, you and your team are in agreement, but Rosie going Rogue insists she knows best and you want to kick her under the table and remind her who is paying for this. [/quote]

Agree, that's why we gave up when our child is ok at school and just use the money for private services.  I've heard so many stories about advocates, good and bad it just wasn't worth the cost for us.[/quote]
