Wow ElizabethN...believe me, I have done my fair share of research, trying to educate us as parents going through all this for the first time, but I never came across your tid-bit of info. I looked at our state's laws to check on our parental rights, but didn't think to go beyond that. I know we are "supposed to be" equal partners in the GIEP process, but didn't realize there is a federal regulation regarding a "draft" IEP, which is exactly what we got. We obviously have more to learn! This is why I love this forum! There are so many things we can learn from one another. Guess we need to decide where to go from here. Thanks for the info!
