[quote=Anonymous]Hello,

The first thing I would do is to make sure the Present Levels on the IEP are solid and accurate and measurable in concrete terms. That is the backbone of the IEP. The goals are driven from the PLP statements. If the PLP statements are not specific and do not have data to support them, then the goals do not mean anything and you cannot tell if your child is making progress. Yes, I agree that you should work collaboratively with the school as they are with your child every day. You can request work samples from your child's teacher that supports progress or their lack of progress towards the goals in the IEP. If the school tells you that your child is not supposed to have a skill yet, I would request that they provide you with a developmental timeline of that skills so you can have a better understanding. If they do not provide you with a timeline, then document that in the IEP notes. Put it in a section of the IEP called, Prior Written Notice. I hope this helps.
The decision to use an Advocate or Educational Consultant is difficult because it is a very personal decision and it has to be a good fit. Start with the information I have given you above and see if that helps. Good luck. [/quote]
