It never ceases to amaze me how much paperwork a special needs child accumulates. I am having my special needs child evaluated for another Individualized Education Plan (IEP). We went through the screening process (again) as well as the interventions. Now, I have a meeting with the IEP team and need to provide them with copies of his paperwork.
I always snicker when a special education professional asks me if I have copies of his prior testing. What I have is AN ENTIRE DRAWER of paperwork. Forget having one file folder – I have a DRAWER filled with files from all of his prior evaluations as well as copies of his report cards, former IEPs, and a miscellaneous file for all of the paperwork that doesn’t fit in the other categories.
