[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher who has sat through 100s of IEP meetings. We have seen it all--parents in suits, uniforms, jeans, even pajamas. I've never had a parent bring food.

At the schools I've taught in, everyone truly wants the best placement for the child. It's not contentious--it's a team coming together to try to make the child as successful as possible.

We have pens and notepads available, tissues on the table, and coloring pages if you have to bring children with you. It's not the parent trying to impress the staff. It's brainstorming together at the table.

Breathe! It will be okay![/quote]
Totally agree and its s process. In my first IEP meeting they rejected speech therapy, I kept brining it up and few months later they agreed when they saw he really need it. In pre school they didn't want to do OT for handwriting. I got private evaluation and asked them to evaluate based on the results I gave them and they did and now he is getting OT in K. Its a process and they need to really work with your kid to understand his needs. My son special ed suggested cutting back the services hours and I agreed. He needs less than before. Its a live document and process that keep changing and not based on one meeting.[/quote]
