[quote=Anonymous]Long-winded mom back checking in on you.  Yes, Wrightslaw.com is great, as his book about writing IEPs.  We refused to bring our son into one of the IEP meetings - initially they balked, but we felt it was inappropriate and stood firm.  But we did have our psychiatrist, tutor, tester and the County's compliance officer there.  They often give you the "self-advocacy" line, but if child has a disability, often they can't argue for themselves.  I am not familiar with MERLD but it sounds like Selective Mutism - in either event, if your child ends up in tears it is just plain wrong.  11:54 is correct - it should be a collaborative process but we've had to fight and scratch for every bit of assistance.  Now that we are almost out of high school and the FCPS knows us and our son, there is no problem and the year-end IEPs go smoothly and son can self-advocate.  But not when they are younger.  If I were you, I would really try to find your compliance officer  If you are in FCPS, write back and I will go dig up her name and phone no.[/quote]
