Questions To Ask Yourself
Is your child unhappy at school? Does your child have friends? Is your child learning?
Do you and the school understand your child’s behavior and learning style?
Is there something underlying going on, even though everyone assures you things are just fine?
If your child is getting special education services at school, are you seeing effective progress? What is “effective progress?”
Even though your child is on an IEP, does it seem that things are “one size fits all,” or is your child’s program truly individualized?
Are you angry and frustrated because you don’t know where to turn or how to get services for your child?
Do you feel your child needs specialized services and has the school refused to comply? What are your rights and where do you turn?
What’s the difference between an IEP and a 504? How do you go about getting one of these for your child?
Has communication with the school broken down? Is the school paying attention to your concerns and getting back to you in a timely manner?
