[quote=Anonymous]I would err on the side of professionalism and transparency so, yes, I've always informed the school when I'd be bringing an advocate. Re-printing the forms to include the advocate doesn't take long but since our meetings tend to be long anyway, it's also a time saver (especially since the advocate is charging 15 minute increments). This isn't to say that I don't understand what you're feeling. I, too, have been surprised sometimes by who shows up on the school side. After a couple of instances, I took the initiative to ask before the meeting who would be attending. I've used phrases like the following: "Ms. Larla will be accompanying me to the IEP meeting to help me better understand the proceedings and findings. Who should I expect on the school team and what is their role?"[/quote]
