Individual Education Programs (IEP)
A parent has many options to make their child’s experience at school smooth and enjoyable. Children with special needs always have their own Individual Education Program (IEP) at school. The development of IEP is extremely important, and you want to ensure that all your concerns are addressed and your child’s needs are met with the right services throughout the day. There are excellent online resources to help you understand what you are allowed to request during your conference with your child’s teachers when creating your child’s IEP
This article from Kids Health is packed with information on IEPs.
