Just be clear about what you feel your son needs and make sure they have the resources to that your son requires. If they don't then they should be able to place him in a school that does.

When I had my first IEP meeting I was so nervous I had no idea what was going to happen. I did learn however that you have the final say you listen to what they recommend and if you do not agree then state your ideas You yourself are the one that knows your child best. The school my son is in was always threatening me stating that if Caleb's behaviors continued that they would have to send him to another school.. But the more I fought and the more I was involved the easier things went. I explained to them that when they were telling me things about Caleb during a school day that I had no idea of who they were speaking of because I had never experienced any of the behaviors they spoke of at home. Once they tested Caleb and found out he had an IQ of 121 then they started to change their tune about sending him away (that is a sad thing but they do this),needless to say they brought in a one on one for him and as time went on he no longer needed the extra help to get him through his day. It is just a matter of change that will take some time for the kids to get use to. Go into an IEP meeting strong state what you want for your child and don't back down,remember if they send him to a special school they loose money because now they have to foot the bill for your child to be moved and so on.. Schools are not the one in control as they will have you believe. Trust me on that..
