Today, Marcie wrote, "How I wish I read your articles before today's meeting. I'm afraid I impressed the IEP team as a know-it-all parent."

"Now I realize that this impression may create problems getting my daughter the services she needs. I understand that I need to develop a different relationship with the IEP team."

"I am drafting a letter to the team leader, thanking her for her efforts on my child's behalf. I will use this letter to clarify and explain things . . . "
