[QUOTE="slsh, post: 406195, member: 8"] I guess my first question would be why wasn't teacher involved in developing IEP? Don't let the principal throw you. The IEP is a legal document and if they are not following it, they are in violation of federal law. Her opinion really doesn't matter a whole lot at this point, and in my humble opinion, the head-shaking is just intimidation. Since you've scheduled a mtg, I would just kind of do a bullet list of accommodations and services he is to be receiving per the IEP. Get the SD to commit to a timeline of when they plan to implement them. I'd also make *darn* sure his teacher is present at this mtg. You might also try to come up with a communication system so that you know when he is receiving his services (kind of hard to give an example since I'm not sure what you got put in his IEP). After the mtg, I'd send a certified letter of understanding to Sped Director of what was discussed at the mtg and when services are to be implemented. Request that the letter be placed in your son's permanent file. Then you are going to need to follow up - with son, with teacher, with whomever - to make sure that the IEP is being followed. If they don't get with it, you are probably going to have to apply some pressure - either with a complaint to state dept of ed or getting an advocate to help you - but hopefully it won't come to that.
