North Reading SEPAC

NR SEPAC tip of the week:
Stay organized! As we head into the summer make sure you know where your child's latest IEP is so you are ready to ensure all supports and accommodations are being provided appropriately as soon as school begins in September. If there is a problem, reach out to your liaison ASAP and request a meeting.

NR SEPAC tip of the week:
Make sure your child's IEP goals are as specific and tailored as possible. They should meet SMART criteria - Specific, Measurable, Achievable/Attainable in the coming year, Relevant, and Time bound. They should be updated every year to reflect your child's growth. If they are not, have a discussion with the team about how to know if your child is making effective progress.

NR SEPAC tip of the week:
Ensure the meeting notes you receive from the District are thorough and accurate; if you think something is missing, ask the District to supplement, or send them your own notes to include in your child's file. For example, if you reject a proposed service, it is important that the official files and records reflect why you rejected the service.
Any questions - reach out at [email protected]

NR SEPAC tip of the week:
If you would like objective assistance in an IEP meeting, a great, free resource is a Facilitator from the Board of Special Education Appeals. This no charge service can help to keep meetings productive and on track so you can focus on getting your student the support they require. Let the District know if you would like a Facilitator at your next IEP meeting and they will coordinate dates and times for a virtual meeting.
As always, reach out with any questions! DM or email [email protected]

The BSEA has facilitators available at no cost to the parties to help with difficult IEP Team meetings.
