Parent Rights & Responsibilities in the IEP Process
The law is very clear that parents have the right to participate in the meeting where their child’s IEP is developed.
…provisions are important to encourage parent participation in the IEP process, which is an important safeguard for ensuring FAPE under the Act.
Schools must do all they can to ensure that parents participate in the IEP process.
In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate you'll find Part 4: Maintaining Control at IEP Meetings. Learn how to make the IEP process work for your child with a simple tool to document:
- your requests
- school decisions made to accept or reject your requests
- the reasons provided for these decisions
Please don't hesitate to forward this series to other friends, families, or colleagues.
