[quote=Anonymous]That is outrageous!  You need to bring in an advocate.  I don't know if she works in DC but Dr. Ruth Heitin has done incredible things for us in VA.  We have two kids with IEPs and while she's not cheap ($250/hr) we feel she's provided exceptional value.  One of the best things (besides having someone who [u]knows [/u]this stuff) is that it allows you to ratchet down emotionally.  It's hard not to get that gut wrenching feeling when you're trying so hard to be persisent but not oppositional in trying to get the school to do what they're supposed to.  I felt like I was beating my head against the wall - with the school staff being the wall.  Dr. Heitin was able to chisel away at it and I can tell you IEP meetings now are a LOT different.  Everyone shows up, they're on time, they're very prepared and there's no BSing around.  The kids are getting the services they need, they get good teachers and we're really seeing results.  We're really very grateful and now we really only need her for the annual review.

Keep up the good fight for your DS.  You're doing the right thing and most of us know how hard that is.  Please post back with your progress.
