  • Learn how to get started with Special Education services and make sure your child gets the support they need during their school years.

 

We will eplain what kinds of support the school system can offer and how to see what your child qualifies for. If you're just starting, we'll help with these steps: 1. connect with the right people in your school system. 2. Identify and explain your child's strengths and challenges. 3. Get the evaluation to see what support your child needs. If your child qualifies for an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), we'll show you how to prepare for the meetings with the IEP team, work with the team to create the best plan for your child, find support so you can speak up for your child's needs and monitor your child's progress.
