I cut and pasted this from a parent blogger and thought it was pretty funny:


To prepare for your IEP meeting, repeat each line three times, and do this four times a day until the IEP.

1.“NORMAL. What part of NORMAL do you not understand? The goal is for her to be NORMAL.”
2.“She is regressing in that area. How about we say ’she will be less messed up than the curve shows she will be’?”
3.“I will get you two doctor’s notes that say she needs twice that.”
4.“I’m sorry, I did not know that K-Mart sold school nursing degrees.”
5.“What exactly does ‘education’ mean to my daughter? Do you honestly believe that every single student can be ‘educated’?”
6.“If the school day ends at 2:20, how is it possible that my daughter gets home at 2:25? Exactly when does she leave the classroom and why is her day shorter than the NORMAL students?”
7.“No, not having a vision therapist is YOUR problem, not my daughter’s.”
8.“Why is there no male in this room other than me?” (only practice if you are male) (or confused)
9.“You think she communicates because you understand her intent? And you understand her intent … because she communicates? And this makes sense on what planet?”
To otherwise prepare for the meeting …

■Wear your “Helen Keller Rocks” T-shirt
■Bring along a tall male friend wearing a dark suit, red tie and sunglasses. He is to sit to your right and sip Pellegrino out of a bottle the entire time, not saying a word. Introduce him as your lawyer, Moishe.
