[quote=Anonymous]Best advice I can give is to get your IEP written and signed off before your move. If it’s not what you want, call a meeting and ask for revisions. Don’t tell the current school you’re leaving until day of IEP meeting. Take a great goal writing educational advocate or other professional outside the school AND a good lawyer (yes both are better) and ask for everything you need.

Include specific curriculum, 1:1 if necessary, etc. Know what your child needs, have data to show it, write goals that apply before and/or during the IEP meeting (don’t just take what the school hands you at face value, your input matters hence the need for a goal writer during the meeting).

IME it’s much easier to get a solid IEP if the district signing off on it knows they aren’t paying for it. Since IEP Law is federal the IEP should have no trouble transferring. Just make sure you send it to the new district as soon as you have chosen one so they can make accommodations accordingly.

You might also consult an advocate in this area to assist you with choosing best possible placement and what you might need in an IEP for that placement. You might need an educational attorney on standby in this area too, school districts like to play games as I’m sure you know.
