You need a psych to counter their psych. Your psych needs to recommend the accommodations/modifications your DS needs. I believe they have to consider outside evaluations. And you are definitely right about parents being able to receive scores, that is what FERPA is all about.
Don't beat yourself up about crying. I don't think it made any difference. If anything, it shows that you are a conscientious mom who cares about her son. <<hugs>> I've done the same thing, and we still got things worked out with the school.
If they pull that "stop trying to perfect him" cr@p again, point out that they are the ones who say he isn't meeting grade level standards! Are they saying that you should just give up on him? You are trying to offer ways to remedy that problem...what are they doing? The same old thing that didn't teach him to punctuate last year?
As for what can be on an IEP, it can pretty much be whatever the child needs--I've never heard of any such restrictions. An IEP doesn't have to be restricted to OT. In fact, it shouldn't be.
Try to ignore the digs about the physics book. Their tactic there is to lower your expectations of him (and by extension, them.)
I know how hard this is! My kids don't have IEPs but we had a heck of a time getting the 504 plans.
