Newport News-Times: Parent training on 'individual education plans' offered
Newport News-Times: Parent training on 'individual education plans' offered
With another school year right around the corner, I thought this was a great article for the day. While the idea is not new, it is still very valuable. It would be my guess that most parents are not aware of their rights in an IEP meeting, even if they have read their little blue book. All schools and school districts are not the same, but it has been our experience that the staffers involved typically seem to appreciate our involvement and understanding of the process. There is no question when it comes to this "knowledge is power".
Parents Encouraging Parents (PEP) is usually an excellent resource for IEP workshops. If you aren't aware of this organization or if you would like to find a local chapter, a web search reveals a pretty lengthy list.
