[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember, you never need to sign an IEP at the meeting.  If you disagree with it, or need more time to consider it, tell the team that you want to look it over for a while and are not able to sign it at the meeting.  Then take it to your consultant, send it to your sister who is a special ed teacher, etc. I've had many parents later ask to make specific changes to an IEP -- add accommodations, question goals or present levels, etc. -- and I am happy to make those changes.  A parent should only sign an IEP that he or she agrees with.  I always tell parents at the IEP meetings that THEY are the most important members of the IEP team as they know their child best.  And by the way, I always lead the meeting (the special ed teacher).  Who are the administrators who lead your meetings?  I find that strange.

If you don't sign an IEP, the current IEP remains in force.  [/quote]

I'm OP. We must be in different states. Only the initial IEP needs to be signed. After that the institute them without your signagure -- you only sign to show that you came to the meeting.

And we have IEP facilitators who run the meeting. Before that, in elementary school, it was the social worker. The special ed teacher in many ways was a minor player at most of our past IEP meetings.

I'm done accommodating these people's incompetence. I have an advocate at the meetings, and state and federal civil rights complaints in the pipeline. Several parents have come together to file a joint complaint, in fact. [/quote]

OP, in what state do you reside?  IEPs need to be signed by the parents in every state of which I am aware. [/quote]
