[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 462635, member: 11791"] You need someone to be in there WITH YOU. You do need the meeting. But "you" against "them" is not going to do it. You have to have an advocate. Someone professional, ideally. A retired teacher who acts as an advocate. therapist, even. Worst case, an attny. Somebody who can call a spade a spade and push their buttons - because it isn't "their" kid, this person can be "objective". Also provides second set of ears. You heard X - school says "no, we didnt say that". An advocate of any kind is going to be able to say... that they heard what you heard. [/QUOTE]
