Some local parents added a few:

o If you know your advocate's phone and fax number by heart...your child might have an IEP.
o If you have ever been forced into due process, state court, the district court of appeals, federal court, or the federal circuit court on a fast track to the US Supreme Court... your child might have an IEP.
o If you are known as a due process queen... your child might have an IEP.
o If you can quote federal statutes in your sleep...your child might have an IEP.
o If you have ever requested your child's records and it took two years to receive them...your child might have an IEP.
o If you have ever been told, the district doesn't care if you sign the IEP or not, services have ceased...your child might have an IEP.
o If you have crossed out the words "Procedural Safeguards" on your copy and written in "Procedural Land Mines"... I know I have...then your child definitely has an IEP...for what it's worth.
o If a new teacher went to pull your child's cumulative records and had to make two trips to get it; your child might have an IEP/ You've been through a Due Process.
o Your child might have an IEP/ you've been through a Due Process if [enter name of state DOE legal head here] knows you.
o Your child might have an IEP/you've been through a Due Process if you sign all your letters, " I look forward to your written response on or before ten (10) business days."

Oh my gosh...I said yes to most of these!!!!
