[quote=Anonymous][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] I would get a really good private evaluation first.[/quote] This is exactly the right path. You need documentation and independent observations that attest that your kid is in a bad placement. Your opinion isn't worth anything in a legal proceeding.[/quote]
