Procedural Errors • Predetermining a student’s placement or services:

I feel like I hear the comment, "They qualify" or "they don't qualify" before IEPs ever take place.

Can parents insist on their child being on an IEP even if testing doesn't determine qualification?

A procedural error that may occur at any point during the IEP process is failure to involve parents

I have 3 of my own children on IEPs. How come I am not notified in advance the kind of testing that is to be done and what it is for?

Usually I just show up to the IEP meeting they they say, well we did this testing -- I may or may not understand what it was for or why it was given.

Also, can parents suggest different tests? Like why can't my school do a dyslexia screener?
