[quote=Anonymous]DS is in MoCo and has been on an IEP for 7 years.

We never really minded going to the annual review meetings as they were usually pretty painless and went by pretty quickly.   That said, his 3 year IEP meeting was this past May, and it was unusually and surprisingly contentious, stressful, and there were lots of raised voices.  I almost reached over the table and strangled the school psych.  I walked out of there never, ever wanting to attend another meeting, crying and shaking.

I won't go into the details about what happened at the meeting as its irrelevant to my question.

We are wondering if it's required by law that we, or at least one of us (mom or dad) attend any future IEP meetings.  I'd rather just sign the IEP document agreeing to services.  If we are required to attend, I guess I could just keep rescheduling the meeting so that we never end up meeting but that's passive aggressive and pointless.

I've already looked online to see if I can get an answer to my question, but no luck.

Thanks
