It’s the only time I get heartburn, nausea, indigestion, upset stomach, and diarrhea all at the same time which just adds to the unpleasant feelings IEPs cause.
NT parents have no idea what we are talking about when we say “IEP meeting”. It is a concept they have no inkling about nor do they even care what the big hubbub is. They don’t understand that these infamous words “IEP meeting” can evoke complete and utter chaos in any special needs home until the horrendous test of our sanity and nerves is finally and thankfully over. IEP meetings rank up there with going to the GYN or having a mammogram or better yet, a colonoscopy done. It is something that parents do not want to have to face, but they do it because they will do anything for their child to receive the best education available so they can reach to their fullest potential.
Our last IEP is coming up soon. Time to buy a case of Pepto-Bismal and thank God that we don’t have to do this again. Ever.
For some insane reason I’m dying to do the Pepto-Bismal dance at the end our next IEP meeting. Something tells me that the IEP team will not be amused.

A whole new kind of performance anxiety. Best of luck, I know how stressful it is to know that a whole academic year hangs on this one meeting.
Best wishes
Ours is tomorrow... bah humbug!
I'd be amused. Very amused. I have approximately 55 IEPs each year. Bleh.

Oh, I remember each and every IEP that I had to attend when I was a special ed. teacher. Back then they had them after school and they always extended past 3:00 which was when we were off. UGH!
lol. Yes, I think it's safe to comare IEPs with OB/GYN appts. I'm still fairly new to IEPs, my son is in pre-school. They suck, nonetheless.
