Can review IEPs, make recommendations and follow through with parents and school administrators to ensure IEP is being implemented
Will attend your IEP, as needed or provide guidance to your prior to or after your IEP
Provide training/seminars to parents, parent groups (PTAs and support groups), and school districts on effective communication, IEPs, specific disabilities, LRE, co-teaching or other programs tailored to your needs
Provide disability awareness programs throughout the state
II can assist you in a variety of ways: phone calls, email, reviewing documents and testing, writing letters, and giving recommendations.
I am first and foremost a parent. I have 2 children that are on opposite ends of the spectrum. I want parents to be educated and knowledgeable about their rights. But more importantly, I want parents to know how to negotiate the educational system to get the educational services their child needs and deserves. As a special educator and parent of a child with a disability, I know how difficult and emotional the IEPs are to everyone at the table. The advice I give is not legal but is based on my knowledge, education and experience.
