" 10 Ways To Have More Fun

At Your IEP " (Author Unknown)

1. Wear costumes. On the meeting invitation, say, " Festive Dress Required. "

2. As an equalizer, require all attendees to wear Groucho glasses.

3. Require all attendees to bring a musical instrument.

4. Provide refreshments: Jalapeno Cheetos, and red Kool-Aid.

5. Invite Hillary Rodham Clinton. List her name on the cover sheet.

6. Try this introductory exercise: If you were a color, what color would you

be and why?

7. Play background music-anything by Zappa.

8. Give everyone a set of five flash cards to be used as the mood strikes: *

Who invited him?* *I love your hair! Where did you get it done?* *I’m sure

we can trust that this will get worked out.* *Does the law have any bearing on

this?* *Excuse me for 10 minutes while I can call my lawyer.*

9. Have the TV in the room tuned to the Court Channel.

10. Keep score. Give a really nice door prize to the IEP team member

(parents excluded) who makes the most positive comments about your child. Award

grand prize to the IEP team member who makes the most negative comments about

your child - the winner gets to provide 36 hours of respite care, in their home,

to your child.

Jayne---

Thank-you for a well needed laugh! My husband and I both laughed out loud at

#5.

Especially needed today as we spent an hour listening to 2 experts from our

state dept of ed. who came specifically to assess and report to us on our son on

what type of teaching our son responds to. They were good, but they were saying

the same things I have been saying to the district for the past 3 years. I hope

the district listens to their input, but they are not required to. Also bummed

because the teacher who has been doing so well with him the past 6 months will

not be returning. . .

AS I said, a laugh is what I needed.

Hugs,

Donnell (mom to DJ-age 12)
