[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 619473, member: 1550"] An average or above average IQ does not disqualify a child from having an IEP. It is whether or not he has a learning or behavioral problem that gets in the way of his education. I never go to an IEP meeting without an advocate. Every state has them, they are free, and the school districts never tell you they exist. You can find out who your free advocate is by calling your state's dept. of public education and asking for the person in charge of Special Needs. An advocate is well versed in the laws of the state and we are not so an advocate keeps the school district honest and will argue legal points with them. If the school district is uncooperative, they can be investigated and no school district wants that. It can cost them money. I'd get the advocate and talk to him/her before allowing the school to say that he does not need an IEP. They try to do as little for each student as possible. [/QUOTE]
