Unfortunately, sometimes they say the child is doing wonderful when what they really mean is that he isn't causing them any problems. so check it out yourself or get someone you know to do observations. Nothing like your own data to contribute to the IEP meeting.

Hi Roxanne,

That is a good idea..did anyone seem to be a bit offended by your wanting to do that? I'm thinking of doing that as they are saying my son is doing well...

I think they did not appreciate me doing this at all. They knew I disagreed with them about his needs already and that is why I was there to observe. But then again, they couldn't prevent me from being there. Ultimately it was the best thing to do because you get a wonderful first hand idea of how the child is doing. So I have done it again with my other son under better circumstances and they usually find it odd that you are there, but they don't mind.
