In the letter you could also state that there is testing being done but that it will not be completed until April. The testing is also very relevant to the meeting and your daughter's appropriate placement and services for next year, but you don't have to justify the delay. I just had my son's 504 meeting date changed and I set the time so that his TOD and other pertinent personnel could attend. I stated I would not accept the meeting if those professionals were not in attendance. Polite, to the point, and the meeting is on the date and time of my chosing. I've never had a problem rescheduling the meetings. In the early days, I even walked out on a few because the personnel I requested had not been invited to attend. I don't think the rules for IEP meetings vary that much from state to state, but I'm not sure. Anybody else with a different approach?

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 I believe that the IEP must be scheduled at a time and place that the parents of the child agree to, and is not set in stone. I would contact the scheduler and give her some times you are available around when you would like it to be scheduled. Giving them multiple options to schedule also seems to smooth things out as sometimes it can be difficult to coordinate everyones schedules.
