[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thank you for the replies.

Correct, the upcoming meetings will not be a requalifying meeting at least not for another 3 years.

And yes, it was the[b] school "psych" (who should not be called a school psychologist because she only has her Masters) who turned the meeting into a shit-show[/b].  I guess she was there because it was his 3 year meeting.

As for advocating, I am my DS' BIGGEST and MOST STAUNCH advocate. No stone goes unturned when it comes to his education and life in general.

His IEP has for the most part not changed very much over the years. So there is nothing to advocate for.  All the services he should be getting are outlined in the IEP already, but that doesn't mean that they are actually implemented.  So real "advocacy" happens at the classroom level and not at the IEP meeting.  We all know that the IEP can list all sorts accommodations, but its only worth the paper its written on if its not implemented in the classroom....which is why I feel like these meetings are a time and resource suck for all involved.

Thanks again. [/quote]

No surprise here. Never met a good school psych yet. They are undertrained with egos the size of Mac trucks. [/quote]
