IEP goals - first meeting with the dade public school

[Guest guest]

Hello group

My son is going to be 3 Feb, I keep reading about how I need to fight hard to

get a decent IEP for him, so that he gets the appropriate services. I am

starting to be really nervous about it. What should I do to prepare? what should

i be aware of? I already know the programs that dade school has to offer, none

of them sound appealing at this point(the one I am stlightly interested in, i

know if full already) so how can they surprize me?

So I need some begginers tips here

Thank you!

This is just my opinion....save yourself a lot of grief...get yourself an advocate, ask around for a good one...may cost 2 to 3 hundred...but it is worth it in the long run. do not try it alone, do not listen to everyones story( they are all different) stories won't get your IEP done. This state has some serious issues with helping children. And the schools here are not up to date enough to handle any children with LD. as far as I am concerned. This is 2010 but you wouldn't know that from the fighting parents have to go through in this state for their children. If you can afford the advocate, please go for it. I wish you the best.From: Idit

Yes, but we do not advocate for children who attend Dade County schools. They must be Broward County residents and attend a Broward Co. school. In Miami-Dade call Parent to Parent at

There are advocates that are cheaper or even free. I know there where a few posts on her from fnd.

Contact Parent to Parent of Miami and find out how to attend one of their workshops. You can also do an online tutorial at www.fndfl.org.
