[quote=Anonymous]Interesting thread, as we've been weighing whether we need an advocate as our DS transitions to middle school. On the one hand, our IEP discussions as a team really are pretty free-wheeling and there is a lot of good collaboration that's taken place. Whenever we've suggested accommodations, they've almost always been granted. On the other hand...DS is still way behind in some areas and has met few goals, although he's made progress. The team is rarely proactive. I often have the feeling that there are various interventions/approaches that could be tried but that we don't know about and that they keep in reserve. I also worry that engaging an advocate will make things go much more "by the book" than they currently are. We have pretty free, honest communication with the team and DS's teachers. Part of me fears that hiring an advocate will put a stop to that and actually be detrimental.[/quote]
