Many of the families that I work with do not have the confidence that they need to fully participate in the decision-making that guides their children's education. They want to participate, but special education processes can be intimidating. Parents are critical resources, but they are often reluctant to speak up. When schools invite them to talk about their children, they often sit quietly and accept the answers that the professional educators provide. I want to help my students' families to become their children's best advocates. The IEP and Inclusion Tips for Parents and Teachers book shows families how decision-making happens in special eduction. It's designed to help them participate effectively for their children. The book gives parents step-by-step instuctions on things like how to prepare for an IEP meeting and how to track a child's progress. I hope to use this book to give parents what they need to feel like confident advocates for their children.
