[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“We don’t agree with the diagnosis” says iep team member with zero medical education of three different MD/PhD evaluations of DCs complex medical diagnosis…[/quote]

OMG!  I experienced that, too!  WTF! I asked that statement be documented in the notes.  I then stopped the meeting and asked that we reconvene when a Central Office Administrator/PSL could attend. [/quote]

Again, rockstar response!  I completely lose my presence of mind when confronted by this kind of stupidity, and don't know what to say.  I ended up just opening and closing my mouth like a gasping fish while I think what to say. It would never have occurred to me in a million years to demand that such a statement be documented in the record (even though I was always recording) and ask to suspend the meeting at that instance, pending continuation with central. Because, I mean HTF could anyone continue an IEP meeting with a team member who is so obviously ignorant?

Again, thanks for sharing your award winning response.

I am not this amazing parent - but wanted to share a strategy.
I have post-its written and stuck on the inside of my IEP binder with Key Phrases to help me have words in the moment.
Examples: 
if he is not meeting his goals, shouldn't we be thinking about changing the services?
Can you tell me - what researched based intervention is being used?
This is overwhelming and I need to take a 5 minute break
I did not catch that, can you please repeat it so I can write it down.
So are you saying ......? [/quote]
