Lisa, there's another reason I wouldn't call an IEP meeting right away - this is a violation of the existing IEP. If you call an IEP meeting,, you're giving the school the opportunity to discuss the IEP and they may recommend/want to make changes. I wouldn't want to be making changes without a lot of thought going into it and having a chance to prep ahead of time. Today, this week, though you have a clear violation of the existing IEP (pulling your ds out of class for spelling help), so you can put that down in writing and email it to the full team, and request that the IEP be followed as written.

I can't remember for sure what is happening with the aide - did they update the IEP to include an aide or is the IEP in place still the same IEP you'd agreed to for this school year with no updates/changes?

Ugh on all the problems - I hope next week brings a chance to relax and not have to be advocating constantly.

Best wishes,
