Unless you have a typical child you are out of luck in every state! Watch for fake grades that will socially pass your child through. Always ask what is the exiting criteria of the previous grade level your child is entering to make sure your school isn't lying to you about meeting the IEP goals. Call your state board of education and ask for a copy of the learning standards of your state. Always ask for a draft copy of the IEP one week prior to the staffing so you are never surprised at what they are going to say to you when you get there and never go alone. Ask for all confidential reports on any testing that is done, they will not just hand it to you, you have to ask for it. Keep everything your child brings home for at least 3 years so you can always go back and check the progress he or she is making. This is the only way you will be able to make a case of ongoing non-progress. No child left behind in the state of Illinois doesn't mean a thing. You must beat them at their game. Learn their languauge, learn the laws, learn what your child is entitled to then fight for it. It is your child's right to have it make sure they get it. =

P.S. It is very hard to take advice from anyone who hasn't been in the system for a long time. I trusted the schools, I believed too. Keep your guard up, always, always keep your guard up. Keep in mind, the schools get federal funding for your child based on his or her disability, make sure it is being used on your child
