[quote=Anonymous]A lawyer is not necessary if you have a strong psychiatrist who can attend and explain diagnosis and testing results. We did that and had no problem. I disagree with 12:54 in the case of FCPS. While many people on the board seemed sympathetic, an uninvited member of the school's disability team showed up and started fighting the IEP without even having looked at the paperwork. OUr psychiatrist mowed her down. I truly believe some of the FCPS schools' disability personnel have been told to act as gatekeepers and keep kids from getting the legal resources they are entitled to. This is well known among the parents - hence the need in some cases to "lawyer up". A pity really. But consider bringing in your psychiatrist, tester, psychologist, tutor - that might be a more inexpensive approach and equally effective.[/quote]
