First off, if you are in the USA and have an official diagnosis then demand a 
PPT or whatever they call them in your area. This is an official meeting to 
plan out how the school is going to accomodate your daughter's problems, and 
is a legal requirement.
And don't let them buffalo you - if you don't agree to what gets said, refuse 
to sign anything until changes are made.
