We have all heard the old adage, "Knowledge is Power" and this is particularly true when parents become educated about Special Education laws and procedures..
- Has your child been experiencing developmental delays?
- Has your child been recommended for an evaluation for a possible disability?
- Are you aware of your child's rights under the Special Education Laws?
- Do the same rules apply for children in private school and public school?
- Is your child receiving the support and services they need in school?
- As a parent of the CSE team, how do I develop an appropriate IEP for my child?
- And more....
