IEP Webinar
Taking an Active Role in Your Child’s IEP
Parental involvement is vital to a child’s IEP team process. There is no one as interested in and motivated to see a child succeed and thrive than their own parents. This fact alone places the parent in a crucial role on the IEP team.
Though the IEP process can be intimidating, parents should be prepared to offer insight into whether current strategies and instruction are helping the child make progress. Knowing the IEP components can help parents evaluate their child’s IEP to insure they are getting the proper education.
