As you would have guessed she gave me a bunch of BS saying that his education would have to be affected and that is not the SD conclusion on THEIR assessment. She implied that they don't have to take that new report into account but still wanted a copy. I nicely exlained that I wanted to work as a team but still mentioned that 15 point discrepancy law (advocate told me about it and assured me it was a garanteed IEP). She first avoided to answer and when I asked her again she said she would have to look into it. I am good at "playing dumb" and I don't think she suspects my attentions: WAR if V does not get what he needs. I am planting seeds and living a paper trail. Anything else I should be doing? by the way, she went from from "we can't do anything" to "let's do a speech screening" scheduled Feb. 26th. I asked about a cmplete evaluation but she claims they have to do screening first. Is that right? Input welcome! :) [/QUOTE]
