[quote=Anonymous]As a special educator and a parent, I am ALL for having a lawyer if necessary. There are times when I'm happy the family has a lawyer, because the school part of the team does need to be held accountable, and doesn't always follow through, and a lawyer keeps them on their toes. But I echo not to make it a surprise. I've been in IEP meetings that run over 4 hours because of lawyers. Which means screwing over teachers providing coverage and students needing instruction, because we thought the meeting would only be under an hour. As a parent, I would try an advocate first - just make sure they're a good one. I've seen some useless ones and feel bad that the parents are paying for someone who doesn't address the actual concerns. [/quote]
