[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Special education teacher. I would strongly advise that you contact the school district - whoever oversees the principal - and repeat these concerns, including the time and date of the meeting and everyone who attended. I would also record any future meetings with this principal.

I’m sorry this happened. You need to report to protect your child and others in the school.[/quote]

I agree with this teacher - do not waste your time trying to negotiate with or understand this principal, send smthg written to a superior instead. 
So, write an email describing her behavior and how it violates IEP statute, regs, principles/norms, and how she went out of her lane to question, on the basis of no professional expertise, the doctor's diagnosis and assessment of impact and treatment/accommodations necessary.

Send that email NOT to the Principal's supervisor (who knows very little about special education law) but instead to the associate superintendent of special education.  Close your email stating clearly what resolution you want and by asking that the ASforSE "provide support and expertise" to principal so that the school "comes back into compliance with its legal obligations under IDEA, Sec. 504, and the ADA" so that you "do not have to use our due process options."

Once you've done this, you have alerted the person ultimately responsible for special education legal compliance to an issue that is going to cause a bigger problem if they don't fix it.
