Learn all about IEPs, Services, Eligibility, Evaluations, IEP Meetings, Federal Laws, and Special Education Advocacy Strategies in this comprehensive course created solely for parents!
The IEP and Special Education process is overwhelming, confusing, and stressful. Unfortunately, the school doesn't provide parents with a handbook containing insider information.
Despite your best effort to understand everything about the process, you often feel a step behind and like you are missing important information.
Your child’s IEP is difficult to understand. The language, terminology, and acronyms are unclear and confusing. You feel frustrated when you read through it and wonder if it meets your child’s unique educational, academic, social, and emotional needs.
Although you desire a strong, collaborative relationship with your child’s school, you often feel like an outsider instead of a valued member of the IEP Team. Because you are outnumbered at the meeting, you don’t always feel comfortable speaking up and sharing your concerns. You want to be an active participant while keeping the lines of communication open.
