Stay Positive
"I’m a former special-ed teacher, and my first suggestion is to observe, observe, observe. It’s hard to know what’s up until you see it for yourself. Is the teacher offering accommodations and your child refusing them? Is your child too impulsive to take the designated cool-down break? Second, please take the chip off of your shoulder. It doesn’t help." -Jenny, Oregon
"Don’t lose your cool. Let the teacher know that you’re aware of how busy she is, and don’t have a bad attitude. Ask if she can think of a better way to accomplish the IEP goals. Tell her that you will check back to see how the new plan works. -Cindy, Tennessee
