I wish you lots of luck with your child's needs. I had been fighting for a full year to get my son into what we call an ISSP meeting similar to the one you are attending for your child. The meeting for my child did not come about until I lost my temper, with only two weeks left to teh school year. I stormed into the Boar of Education and demanded a meeting withe the district head. When I blasted him about the lack of action for my son, I got a phone call the next day from the Principal, the division's Special Services Head and the Counselor's office. The session was between myself, the Principal, the teacher, the counselor, and the education psychologist.
Afterwards, the teacher asked me how I got it going so quickly? She had been fighting since the beginning of the school year to get the help for him and nothing. It turned out that the secretary had never sent the teacher's forms to the Board. She was never reprimanded for the flaw and my son was drilled through a speedy process that ended up with misplaced forms and such. This was in Elementary.
Fortunately, there is a somewhat happy ending. Now, in his first year of high school, they are having him re-assessed and are providing further guidance with a laptop and other services. FINALLY!!! It took a move out of province to get what he needed.
I wish you all the best.
