It’s IEP season!
What is IEP?
IEP = Individualized Education Plan; an individual learning plan to assist a child with a disability in achieving academic success.
As a special needs parent, I know this season can feel overwhelming.
As we prepare for our son’s meeting, here are a few practical things that has helped us:
📕 Take time to review all documents before the meeting.
📗 Let trusted friends and family know the meeting is coming up and how they can support you.
📘 Get an extra set of eyes to look over the documents.
📕 Ask questions, even the ones that feel small.
📗 Don’t agree to what’s on paper unless you wholeheartedly understand and support it.
📘 Remember, you are your child’s advocate.
📕 Make sure you know your parental rights (you should always be given a copy)
Parents, you’ve got this. We’ve got this. 💪🏾
Please feel free to share.
