Ideally, parents and schools work together collaboratively to reach an agreement on an education plan (IEP) that is in the best interest of the child. Sometimes, there are disagreements about what the child's educational needs are.
Disputes in special education are best resolved at the earliest stages by the members of the child's IEP team, which can include the school's Principal and/or the District Special Education Director.
As equal members of the IEP team, parents can request an IEP team meeting at any time to discuss questions or concerns.
IEP Partner
The preferred approach at Raising Special Kids is to help parents become effective self-advocates by providing high quality training and consultation. Under special circumstances, an IEP Partner can provide direct support and participation in the IEP meeting.

Parents of children in Special Education have procedural safeguards under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Traveling the Special Education Highway: A Parent’s Guide to a Successful Journey is a document that can help you understand your rights under the law.
