Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Help Has anyone ever gone to due process? My daughter's never ending IEP (meeting #5 was on Friday, November 2nd) is scheduled for due process on Tuesday, November 13th. I really do not know what to do. Our advocate said that we have a good chance to get what is needed. It is in Ashlee's best interest - I am requesting an after school Tutor - due to the lack of education she received in the past 3 years. Please advise.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I have never been through a due process. I'm just curious though as to what kind of education has your daughter had? > > > Help > > Has anyone ever gone to due process?

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Hi Liz, It's unusual that you would have a date for due process so quickly after your meeting. I am assuming that that last meeting was a resolution meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to find common ground and come to an agreement. If you are asking for compensatory services, Ashlee hasn't received FAPE for the past three years. Due process requires an extensive brief to be filed with the state dept stating why she didn't receive FAPE with solid documentation. I am also assuming that your advocate is an attorney or has expertise in litigation. Due process is similar to a court hearing. Both sides submit documents and produce expert witnesses to substantiate their arguments etc. You are not allowed to testify. I hope you have a good paper trail. You can read about due process at www.wrightslaw.com. You can also find landmark cases to give you an idea of the hearings. I wish you good luck. I am also in the process.
