Why Collaboration and Communication Make All the Difference
Here we are, well into January and the second half of the school year. As we often do, we like to remind you not to let deadlines pass concerning transitions, charter school lotteries, special program enrollments, and IEP meetings. Don’t let the time get away from you if your child is ready for one of these changes. In today’s solo episode, we are focusing on some of the difficulties and roadblocks we encounter around the IEP process, specifically how open communication and a spirit of collaboration are always beneficial to the process. Join us!
Show Highlights:
- How we, as special education attorneys, function in our roles as middlemen between the family and their school district
- How to approach an IEP meeting in which you want to ask for changes to your child’s program and accommodations
- Why everyone on the IEP team should have the ultimate shared goal to support the student–no matter what that looks like!
- How a collaborative approach benefits the student’s progress in many ways and makes things easier for everyone
- Examples of client situations that turned around because ONE person on the IEP team stepped in to cooperate for the student’s success
