[quote=Anonymous]OP, I attended a free session last night by Brian Gruber, a  special ed lawyer and hosted by  MCCPTA. It was my first time attending a session like this, as we're at the very beginning of the process.

I was very impressed by his approach and did not think it was at all adversarial - in fact, it was the opposite.

His info is below. There are some other threads on this too that are older you may want to search.

The next MCCPTA Special Education Committee meeting will be held
on Monday, Feb. 3, at 7 p.m. in the cafeteria at the Carver Educational
Services Center (Board of Education offices).
 
There will be a free presentation on IEPs by Brian K. Gruber, Esq. 
 
Mr. Gruber will be sharing his unique perspective and expertize with the group.
