[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Calls from school about behavioral issues - and you learn that no one is using the behavioral supports in the IEP.

Tears over bullying or social exclusion.

Teachers who are never told over a students 504 or IEP - or didn't read it.

School staff who tells you that they don't think your child really has a disability because they seem normal.

Exactly.  100 percent.  And since we're starting a new school this year, I'll add: school officials who don't seem to have any urgency about establishing an IEP or supports for your SN child until well after school begins.  Well-meaning but clueless school official: "well they'll monitor him until we can schedule the meeting." Me: "what does that mean?" WMBCSO: "um, I don't really know. <awkward laugh>" (My inside voice: "that better not be code for 'we'll monitor him enough to tell you at the meeting that he doesn't need the IEP supports you're requesting despite his eval and all previous documentation.')[/quote]
