I came across this today via Aimee Yermish's blog and was wondering if you considered including your son at his IEP meeting? You have my sympathies too.

As his parent, I felt that Jay needed to attend every IEP meeting. If he was going to understand what was happening in his education, he had to be part of the process. I couldn't imagine a successful IEP without his buy-in. He had a far better understanding of what was really going on because he was in the classroom.
At one of his IEP meetings, the staff asserted that Jay had made so much progress that he no longer needed an IEP, and that he should be found ineligible for special education services. They were basing this partly on a recent 6th grade standardized test score. There wasn't much logic to their argument.
P.S. I read the rest of Aimee's blog entry on this subject and wanted to give you the link:
