IEP Season -- What every parent needs to know but is afraid to ask!
All across America, parents are receiving the school support they need through their child's IEP (Individualized Education Plan), or so we can only hope. I personally have never experienced an IEP but a large number of my parent friends have. The reviews are mixed. Some find them helpful. Most find them trying and counter-productive.
What is your experience?
If you are looking for information on IEP, the web offers some excellent resources including:
Terri Mauro's About.com Special Needs Children. Read her article titled Parental Input --Have Your Say.
Joan Celebi's Special Needs Parent Blog. On her site Joan lists her six favorite IEP resources.
Another resource is school psychologist's Erin King's 7 Things Parents Should Know Prior to Going to an IEP Meeting.
