The IEP can be a long, complex document. The initial meeting and those that follow can be intimidating.
Try to remain calm and remind yourself that you know your child best. You play the most important part in developing your child’s education plan, so be honest with others about your concerns and stay positive.
Remember the school system and the teachers, assistants, and therapists working with your child are there to support his or her academic learning. Think of yourself and those professionals as a team championing for your child to succeed!
