input is at all required.

Hi,

I checked into this and if my son so chooses to change his mind even during

the IEP he can deny me the access of the IEP. This is not a place I want the

school having the chance to

push him to change his mind. It is not legal and binding it is only a

statement that at a certain point he said ok not that he cannot revoke that ok

later on.

| Hi,

| My son turns 18 in August and if he so chooses or gets coerced to sign

| himself out of school at the point I cannot stop him unless I have

| guardianship of

| some form. Some schools will convince 18 yo that they no longer need to

| go to

| school and that they are 18 and can make that decision. they also do

| not

| have to have you at the IEP or to sign it. Please look into this

| BEFORE it

| happens. You know some schools are sneaky.Also you can just get pieces

| of

| guardianship. Money, medical and such without taking away their rights

| to vote and

| such. Remember when he turns 18 his doctor cannot talk to you without

| his

| permission, you cannot go to his appts and talk to them or anything.

| Geesh we work

| night and day and then we lose our rights LOL.
