Parents as Partners in the IEP Process

I found this handbook to be remarkably helpful in defining the role parents can take in the Individual Education Program (IEP) process.  I think that it is vital that parents know what rights their students have in a classroom.  Additionally, parents should know how to approach the creation of an IEP so that they can be an integral part in the planning process.  Check out the link to the handbook below and know how YOU can help your students or children receive the services they need to succeed!

Sidenote: Pay special attention to the important principles covered by IDEA (pg. 4) and section on common acronyms (pg. 100).
