[quote=Anonymous][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]

These are good and can be on the BINGO card for which ones you had to use at the meeting. I actually was told "we don't do research based interventions." I said "hmmm. Let me reading you something straight from the school systems website." I had printed it out because I had heard that one before. I even gave then exact web address. Then, I was told that is only in some cases. I said, I please put that in writing with your name so when I check with others in the county they can get back to you if that is not the case." The person back tracked and said she would look into it and get back to me.[/quote]
