We're still in the middle of this battle with our DS12, but our parent information rep suggested this: "I would not hesitate to tell them you are thinking about filing a complaint with the Office of Civil Rights (OCR)."

Luckily, our son's problem isn't an unwillingness to provide specific educational goals, but we're struggling to even get special education services in his self-contained GT program. the SPED services are obviously required, but the GT program is not required by law, and since it doesn't easily fit together in his school, it's been a struggle to get the services for which he qualifies.

In other words, I feel ya!
