Gary Mayerson

Hey! Thank you NSASA and Elija for bringing Gary Mayerson to us. I left the
conference with much more confidence in being able to negotiate with my
District as well as very important steps to ensure success. I felt so good
afterward, that the flat tire on my van when I went to leave didn't even
dampen my mood! (FYI, if you ever have a car problem after an Elija
conference, the Mobil head mechanic at the Mobil station on the corner of
Old country Road is trustworthy,-thank you for helping me!!!) For those who
were unable to attend, the great news is Gary Mayerson will be putting out a
book in the near future!!
Just a SMALL taste of simple yet important things I learned:

If you don't own a fax, invest in one!--Faxing correspondense to your
district is a more reliable record than certified mail.

Don't ever allow a letter from your District to go unanswered.

Convert meetings from I want to what the child needs.

Get independent evaluations.

It could be beneficial to videotape (10 minutes or so) your child every 3
months when NOT in a structured setting to validate the need for ABA and
more hours.

Take a log of all phone calls.

Request March report of IEP goals.

Thanks again!
Jennica
