[quote=Anonymous]I second the recommendation to post on MC needs. We used an advocate for our very first IEP meeting because I and my service coordinator did not agree on the best placement for my kid. I have to say that I think it did make a difference. From the moment you walk in the meeting you are perceived as a person not to be messed with. There is the suggestion in the hiring of an advocate that you have money and you will get a lawyer if necessary. Our meeting apparently took longer than most because of the team wanting to do everything by the book. It never got hostile however since we prepared a case in advance to make our point. I can't imagine going through that process alone. It would be very easy to get railroaded w/o even realizing it.[/quote]
