Laurie, i just pm'd you. As a fellow Suffolk County Long Islander i went through the same EXACT thing you are going through right now with my son in 05/06 school year. Too many things to tell you here. But i can give you the name of the Long Island advocacy center, the things i learned about the NY publick school system and inclusion, and some suggestions and what we experienced and what we ended up doing.
I know your meeting is Thursday. I pm'd you my work number and my home number and if you want to feel free to call me and i will give you what information i have on what you can do.
It's work but can be done. Don't stress but i know exactly how you feel. I was sick to my stomach for months after he started kindy and all the BS we had to go through! AND SCREW THOSE TESTS! i could have a whole conversation on how the school psychologist tried to manipulate his disability to make him sound worse than he was just to make a better case to get him out the the school.
I feel your pain.
