[quote=Anonymous]NP. Hard to see other SN parents as viewing one parent meeting with the IEP team as taking away your child’s share of the pie.

What if Op wanted to discuss behavioral management prior to the school year so that her kid’s behavior in class could be less disruptive?

Or share a new diagnosis that could mean staff could be more effective?

Or share information about a wrong decision or ineffective instruction that should be fixed for all students.

Any of those would be good for all SN parents.

It is OP’s right, and all parent’s right, to ask for an IEP meeting any time.

SN parents who denigrate other SN parents for exerting their rights are perpetuating a stigma - the idea that SN parents are unfairly grabbing the time and attention of teachers or administration in a way that can only hurt others.

If you truly believe that admin and teachers are so overworked that they couldn’t possibly take time to respond without hurting others, you should be directing your angst at a school system that refuses to hire, train and adequately pay enough staff to handle the schools system’s legal obligations under IDEA.
