 Anne Treimanis and Kathleen Whitbread recommend the following:
- Discuss IEPs with your child
- Ask your child what he wants in his IEP
- Bring your child (and his siblings, for support) to the IEP meeting
Some parents use video to introduce their child - and their child's "unique needs" to the IEP team.
In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate you'll find strategies to resolve problems early, tools for creating a positive parent-school relationship, more tips to help your child have a good year -- you'll even learn how to make a video.
Please don't hesitate to forward this issue to other friends, families, or colleagues.

In When Parents and Schools Disagree, Dr. Ruth Heitin describes common areas of disagreement between parents and schools and offers suggestions and strategies to handle these problems.
