[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"If the majority of the team, outside of myself, says that my child does not need an IEP and can do fine on a 504 and I don't agree where does the meeting go from there?"

You can request an independent evaluation. In DC, we got DCPS to pay for it. Either way, then they review it and decide again if your child needs an IEP.

This is correct.

If everyone agrees DC is eligible for an IEP the discussion should turn to writing goals for him to achieve - eg specific things related to reading and organization that he will achieve over the course of the next school year.

Once the goals are set then there is discussion of how the child will achieve them - and then you get specific about X hours with a reading specialist in or outside the classroom etc.

This may happen at the eligibility meeting or a separate meeting. The school may creatr a draft set of goals and service hours - if so you should get them ahead of time. Sometimes at our school we brainstorm and write them in the meeting. [/quote]
