[quote=Anonymous]Maybe someone else can confirm but... it sounds like they violated your right to prior written notice of proposed changes to the IEP. You should have received a draft of their proposed changes 7 days prior to the meeting (I think).

Are you saying that you received the draft but didn't notice that the draft included changes? Or that what they sent and what they had at the meeting were different? If that is the case, they are in violation of the procedural safeguards and I would put them on notice of that fact. Forward what you were sent to the principal and other IEP team members and ask them to explain.

I would immediately contact them in writing (email) and let them know that you do not agree with the proposed changes, the proposed changes were not discussed at the meeting and you want to know why they made the changes to the child's service hours.

Another tactic to take if they did provide the material and you failed to notice their proposed changes... pull together any reports from doctors or evaluations you have and request an IEP meeting with the new evals and ask that the new information be considered. This assumes that you have had recent evals that you can share.

Or, call an educational consultant/advocate.

Good luck!
