 Many parents say that organizing the file is a powerful educational experience that helps design their master plan.
When there is no master plan, no one looks at the BIG picture. Instead of looking at the forest, parents and school staff focus on the bark of the trees. When you organize your child's file, you will see the forest.
In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate you will read and review your neat, organized, chronological Master Special Education File for your child.
Please don't hesitate to forward this issue to other friends, families, or colleagues.

Reviewing the Master File
When you organize your child's file, you will learn about your child's disability and educational history. This is an important step in becoming an expert.
As you learn more about evaluations and test scores, you will recognize important information in documents. You will be able to complete the "Significance" column on your Master Document List.
If you have not yet created your list, Review Session 4. |

A Master Plan for Success
Your child's special education is a long-term project. You need a master plan because Planning is the Key to Success.
As a parent, your role is similar to that of a project manager - you organize, plan, monitor progress, anticipate problems, and keep the team focused.
