[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD just graduated from MCPS, and the absolute best thing about it is no more IEP meetings!

I did not know  my experiences were the norm and apparently we weren't even getting the worst of it. It took me from 4th to 9th grades just to convince them she needed an IEP for LDs. So here goes for our insanity (these are all at the high school level):

1. "All you care about is her grades." (Well, if she's failing nearly every test, but gets As on essays, there is some disconnect, I would think.)

2. DD is diagnosed with a language-based disorder, whose primary treatment is speech-language therapy. From school speech therapist at the meeting: "Well, she can talk just fine and doesn't mispronounce anything." No school speech therapy was approved.

3. The meetings were so horrible, DD started refusing to go. I told her counselor DD didn't feel comfortable and found them very upsetting and the counselor burst out laughing. She later sent me an email apologizing, but still.

[b]4. The school psychologist looked at the private, professional  neuro-psych report I paid thousands of dollars for since the school wouldn't test her and said, "I'm not sure if I really believe this, but I think there's slightly more than 50 percent chance it's right.[/b]"[/quote]

OMG.  Because I'm sure she's more qualified than the evaulator.... (sarcasm.)[/quote]
