Parents as Partners
Special Education Home Special Education Initiative Parents As Partners Inclusive Education Related Services Shared Responsibilities Lending Library Case Study Committee

Parents are the most valuable members of the special education process. If your child requires special education services, you will be involved in decisions about what services, instruction, and equipment are to be provided as well as where these services may take place. Schools will ensure that placement is made in the least restrictive environment. You will be asked to share knowledge about your child's development, your expectations, and information about how your child learns.

Parents as Partners Once developed, the IEP may be reviewed at any time concerns arise regarding the services being provided. Fostering feelings of trust and respect is an important goal for parents and educators. It is vitally important to keep the lines of communication open. We will work together to see that you and your child's dreams for the future can be realized.
