Good luck with IEP. Our daughter was on an ed plan for her whole school career (she has ADHD). They were had to deal with, and you're being much more proactive about them than we were 20 years ago.
Despite her mixed school and post-public school career, our daughter has been working for nearly a year at the same place at an interesting job, has benefits and can probably afford to live on her own in the not too distant future. She's 26 now, so that's been a long time coming!
Our B.T. said that if we go in with a list of "demands", it is likely to put them on the defensive. She told us to ask leading questions to try to get them to offer what it is that we want rather than flat out ask. Also, she has advised us to not use yes/no questions. So, we have been going through a list of adaptations and modifications and trying to think of leading, non-yes/no questions, to get them to offer the adaptations and modifications that we think will be most helpful for Hannah.
I'm a little fuzzy on the "not asking". Is it because if you ask, they could say no and that would be it? Or if they offer, it will be at the state's expense and not your own?
