[quote=Anonymous]Yes, you should get the report(s) in advance.  The thing about the IEP process is this.  In order to qualify, your mus have a disability and your child's disability must have an adverse impact on his/her ability to access the curriculum.  So, when I prepare for these meetings that is my focus.  How is my son's disability preventing him from accessing the curriculum and what can be done to make it better.  I am always prepared with lists for each of these issues - problems and what sort of supports/services so I think would make him successful.  Honestly, I can always answer these questions without any reports in my hands because at least in our case, it is pretty obvious.  But, it's better not to be blindsided with information at a meeting so I do read them.

As far as OT, at least in MCPS, very few kids get it.  My son received OT accommodations (special cushion for his chair and recommendations to the classroom teachers on how to help him be more successful in school), but never OT after his third birthday.  But, other than OT, which I can't say would have made a difference, my son always got way more services and accommodations than I could have ever thought of.  [/quote]
