If you disagree with the plan developed at the IEP meeting you have a right to appeal. You have the right to have your child educated in the least restrictive environment that meets his or her needs. That means your child must, to the extent possible, receive whatever special services he or she needs with the maximum interaction with regular education students. Your child should receive only those services that he or she needs. He or she should not be placed in a special education class if it possible to provide the services he or she needs in a regular education class.
All children have the right to be free from discrimination at school.
Students may not be discriminated against based on their race, ethnicity, gender or disability. Discrimination includes different treatment of students, harassment of students or the existence of a hostile environment for students. As a parent, you have a right to be part of the decision making team at your child's school. There are several important school committees you can be involved in. These parent committees cover different areas of the school program.
