[quote=Anonymous]I had my child with SN evaluated by EI at one year and I cried through the whole session where they went into detail regarding every low score.  I was the one who called them, but it was like they felt they need to repeatedly slap me in the face with the issues that concerned me as though I was in complete denial.  I sobbed on and off that day and the next. Then I got moving scheduling interventions.

After that I've mostly just cried in private. I see the IEP as a business meeting where I need to calmly, but when necessary tenaciously advocate for my client (child). If a disagree with something that is said about my child I ask for more evidence and clarification. I treat the team with dignity and respect and I expect the same in return. That said I want them to see me as a force to be reckoned with if that IEP isn't right for my child. I think of myself as a pitbull. Pitbulls can be the sweetest dogs you could meet, but you don't want to end up in a fight with one.[/quote]
