First I'm going to chime in on the fact that she told you if you and your son
aren't happy at the end to not sign. She is totally correct.

If you don't sign, they will then be ready to recovene the case conference
to get the IEP more to your liking a lot faster than if you do sign it.

So I personally would say no do not sign it. If you do sign it. Yes you can
have another meeting, but they have a signed IEP, and technically they
can drag their feet on when they allow you to have the next meeting.
There is a good chance that after a reasonable time has passed and no
conference has been held you would have to file a complaint and prove that
they violated the request for a conference. But in most cases asking for
mediation would be the best.


So I would keep it were you have it best in your own hands. Also make sure
you get a copy of your states laws before the meeting. And also remember
that at any time you believe the meeting isn't going good. You can say this
meeting is over, we will need to recovene when we are all ready to look into
his best interest. I will send you a list of what I feel is the best for him,
and then give them a timetable as to when you will have it ready for them.

And leave the meeting.
