[quote=Anonymous]you will need to complete a form to allow the school team ti share information with another person besides a parent or guardian. It’s helpful to do that ahead of the meeting so you don’t waste time. You’re going to have to put their name and relationship on the form. You should definitely let the school team know ahead of time and complete the form ahead of time. Be honest and say it’s an advocate or educational consultant.

I will say as a school professional, Just because you have an advocate at the meeting, does not mean that anyone has the right of  need to be hostile, rude, or offensive. All parties should be polite and respectful in their communication, even when there is disagreement.

The goal is to collaborate for a child. That cannot be done well when adults (parents, staff, or advocates)  are rude or unprofessional and minimizing anyone's opinion. You can advocate and be respectful. That is what staff wants too.

The school team must follow the law.
