[This is from the Silent Talk Conference]

IEP is a big pain in the rear.  I know.  I'm under the program.  I'm
glad to say that I fought it.  I have been fighting for the deaf to be
put under the BI-LINGUSTIC act not the "special" education department
among these with learning disability and/or emotional problem.

Just last month, they were after my ass (forgive my choice of words)
to take a series of testing for my Triannual elevuation, and I refused.
 I wrote a letter to the special education dept clearly stating my
reasons why I choose to refuse.  I haven't heard from them ever since.
