  Case: IEP Meeting
I am currently doing my student teaching. I am in an ESE environment. I had a student who had an accident one day last week. His IEP meeting was scheduled for that afternoon. However, his mother was upset that she had to come get him and refused to come back for the IEP meeting. I did not know how to respond. Any thoughts?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Unfortunately with an IEP there are so many variables and different individuals that must be involved that rescheduling can often be a problem. I have been to several IEP meetings where the parents outright refused to show up. IEPs can be done without parental involvement, however is behooves the child for them to be there. If the parent doesn't want to be involved, unfortunately that's their loss. All IEP meetings are documented, so if the parent comes to the teacher or school and disagrees with what is being done they will have to be reminded that they did not want to participate in that meeting. The IEP meetings can not be pushed back because of a parent. They are scheduled far in advance already for their benefit.

Comments: Parents are required to sign the IEP though. I would agree with this solution because it is important to schedule these meetings far in advance for the connivence of everyone attending.

Comments: Parent involvement in IEP Meetings is everything. When it comes to accommodating a student, everyone must be on the same page for a number of reasons. This could turn into a liability issue.

Comments: It's extremely important for the parents to be involved because that's their child but I get why they can't keep rescheduling the meeting but f the parent has concerns I don't think it's okay for the parent to just brush them off.
