[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I generally have felt like educational advocates have not been a good use of money for us, but one of the few good things ive felt an advocate did for us during a contentioous iep meeting when there was arguing, the advocate called a five minute break and had us step outside and take a breath[/quote]

Yes!  I think the advocates are not worth the money.  [b]Get your psychiatrist, tester, or tutor in there to explain precisely what your child's needs are and why.[/b][/quote]

Because, of course, once the school team hears precisely what your child's needs are and why, they'll be sure and get your child just that!   :roll: [/quote]

Different PP chiming in - I've had success with my daughter's tutor coming to the meeting.  She has a Masters in Special Ed and 25 years of experience working with children with disabilities.  I could say the same thing, however, because she is a third party the team seems to accept her professional opinion.  She also is well versed in the teacher speak and knows what are considered "best practices" in particular situations.  The tutor has the ability to gather independent data if need be and is well on top of what my daughter is struggling with in school.  As a parent it is hard to be objective, so she is able to tune in at meetings and help mediate compromise when it is in my daughter's best interest.[/quote]
