We filed a due process (and it was settled prior to going to mediation) in November to force the district to do an IEE in speech/language/and social skills for Jonathan. We finally had the meeting to go over it on the 10th of February. The district did not agree to the recommendations in the report of the IEE.
It shows Jon's articulation went from the 25% at age 4 to the <1% now. It shows inconsistencies in goals, reporting on the progress sheets, documented the district didn't provide documentation or reports to the person doing the IEE, said he mastered goals he didn't...I could go on and on. The district is now saying the IEE is an opinion and they do not need to follow it.
I know they have to consider it and not necessarily agree to it. With 30 pages of documentation as to why it needs to be followed, I don't understand why they will not. IMO, they had no intention of following it from day one. I'm emotionally drained and I'm not completely in the process yet. I am not backing off of this though. Any help...words of advice, etc?

When I talked to the state before filing they encouraged me to do so and said the documentation they provided is lacking. We have 30 pages of an IEE with documentation on what the district failed to do, is failing to do, etc to meet his needs.
