It's Newsletter Wednesday! 🎊 Every other Wednesday, we share helpful resources, upcoming events, and practical information for families and professionals supporting students with disabilities. Be sure to subscribe to our newseltter so you never miss an update!

This week, we are highlighting one of our new resources: Parent and Student Input in the IEP Process. You and your child bring valuable insight to the IEP process. This resource highlights why parent and student input is essential to developing meaningful and effective plans. It also encourages families to share their perspectives, priorities, and concerns during meetings. Strong input helps ensure the IEP truly reflects your child's needs. Take a moment to review this resource and think about what you want to share at your next meeting.
