[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I imagine they will try to say that in light of the goals and what they observe so far from your DC they believe he can meet those goals with the amount of hours they are proposing.

You need to figure out how to prove that he needs more hours in support services to meet them. Did they do any evaluation at all since he's been in this school?

I was planning on going in with the following logic:
1.  DC had a previous IEP that is in effect in the same state.  Federal law requires that the LEA provide services comparable to those described in the previously held IEP, until a new IEP is adopted 
2.  Since the previous IEP had a significant higher # of hours, and school has been in session for 6 weeks, the school should have seen significant progress with accessing the curriculum and achieving the standards and have evidence that a reduction is appropriate
3. Since they have not seen any progress, a significant reduction in hours is questionable

Are you certain they've been providing all the hours specified in the previous IEP?[/quote]
