[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would start with an advocate to advocate for the IEP. Them get a lawyer for the placement issue down the line, since you aren't going to go from no IEP to restrictive placement in one step.[/quote] Nope, just go right to a special ed lawyer. Advocates are not a regulated field - waste of time and money. [/quote] OP here. The problem is that many of the lawyers we have spoken to want us to get an ed consultant first to do observations, etc to help the case. What do you do in this circumstance?[/quote] If the school is claiming the data doesn't support the need for an IEP, you have to collect your own data. And for that you need an observation. If the case goes to due process, you'll also need the ed consultant to provide expert testimony -- without that, the hearing officer is going to believe the school.[/quote]
