79. [SPECIAL EDUCATION EDITION] Uncharted Territory in Special Education

I have done many episodes on different areas and important things
you need to know about special education, today, I am going to
specifically talk about some of the misconceptions parents often
have about special education.


The school doesn't develop your child's IEP.  An IEP is
developed by a TEAM and it has nothing to do with what is or
isn’t available at your child’s school but instead, it has
everything to do with what YOUR CHILD’S needs are.


Your child does not have to be in a self-contained classroom if
they qualify for Special Education.  Many students with IEPs
are in general education classrooms with their peers and they
don't ride the "short bus".  


You must determine if the existing goals have been met and the
only way you can determine that is by the data AND if the student
has not mastered the goals, they should not just be just taken
off the IEP and different goals written.


This and so much more in this episode...
