Set Realistic Expectations
"As a parent and special-ed teacher, my answer is the same: Make sure that the school can provide the accommodations in the IEP. I’ve had parents “require” us to provide services that were difficult or impossible to implement. Talk with other parents and create a program that works." -Joyce, Tennessee
"Be forceful but realistic in your expectations. I requested a meeting with the teacher, the director of special education, and the superintendent. It didn’t help. They banded together against me. If the school is receptive, a meeting will help. If it isn’t, nothing you do will change things." -Yvonne, Ontario, Canada
