Hi Everyone!
I am quite sure you can hear those school bells as the
time approaches for ALL of us.
Parents please, please, please, be sure your childs
IEP will meet his needs when he/she goes back to
school. Different teachers, schedules, administrators
means very different approaches. Be sure ALL of your
childs teachers have read throguh the IEP, especially
the accomodiations and modifications. I guarantee you
this may not always happen!!
The beginning of a a school year for many teachers can
be extremely chaotic and unorganized. Help the
teachers with a phone call, quick note or an email,
letting them know what works with your child. Your are
your chids “master” teacher. You do know what works
and what does not work!
After a while if you feel some changes need to be made
call an IEP team meeting!
Believe me I speak from experience. As a teacher I
really welcomed those parents that shared information
with me, that I never had or knew. Do not assume the
teacher has this info!
I have an online tutoring service and if you ever need
my help for your child just email me. I also offer
consultant work with parents regarding the appropriate
writing of IEP’s for initial/re-evaluation and annual
IEP meetings.
Good luck! You can make a difference!
Judy
