So what exactly *does* it take to get an IEP?

[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 557422"] Did they put their "decision" in writing? If not, tell them you want their determination in writing along with their reasons ASAP. Since the decision has been made, there is no reason it can't be done the same day so don't accept excuses. In our paperwork, at least here, the name and address of the person to appeal to is listed in bold on the paperwork. If it isn't, tell them you want it. They can't withhold it from you if you request it. I agree with Buddy. Keep detailed records of how much time she spends where and for what reasons, what classes she misses, all conversations with anyone at the school (try to quote as much as possible), etc. Absolutely fight, if you're up to it. There are many sad schools out there (way too many) that put their budgets before the students. They need to be reminded that this is NOT a good practice and that you're not going to just sit and take it. And, yes, GET AN ADVOCATE. They carry a lot more weight than just a lowly little parent does IF they know SpEd law. Do you have any ideas about what types of accommodations will help her? That would be another good thing to start brainstorming. Make a list of things she needs to be successful in school be it academic help, emotional help, changes in amount of work, changes in work format, whatever you think will help. Those will be what you'll be pushing for. Good luck! Don your armour, it sounds like you've got a battle coming. {{{{HUGS}}}} to both of you. [/QUOTE]
