In 9 Simple Strategies to Collect Data and Track Progress, we share creative ways to collect data and track progress to make your child's case for compensatory education services.
You'll learn how to use your cell phone to make progress videos and use simple checklists to create records and a paper trail. We share perilous pitfalls to avoid.
We know the idea of "tracking progress" and "gathering data" may sound a bit intimidating. But when you use our parent-tested strategies, you'll see that tracking progress and creating a record isn't all that hard.

3. New! Special Education in the COVID-19 Era: Legal Resources from Wrightslaw
We feel strongly about the need to provide information to subscribers and Wrightslaw visitors, so we've been writing up a storm.
In March 2020, when COVID-19 closed schools across the country, we began collecting information and resources from a variety of sources. We've gathered legal resources on a new page, Special Education Legal Resources in the COVID-19 Era from Wrightslaw.
https://www.wrightslaw.com/info/covid.index.htm
The information on Special Education Legal Resources in the COVID-19 Era is divided into three categories:
- Legal Guidance from the USDOE;
- Other Legal Guidance; and
- Practical Advice from Wrightslaw.
We expect to add new categories and new articles, documents, and information to this page.
You'll find links to new articles about how families can manage their child's special education in these perilous times at Practical Advice from Wrightslaw.
