SCHOOL YEARS: How can I be sure my child is receiving appropriate / full services?
Again, be proactive. Stay in touch with the teacher and all personnel delivering services to your child. Attend and be active in school activities, participate fully in conferences. If possible, assist the teacher in any way possible without interfering. Learn about the benefits of IDEA concerning your child and his/her disability and be sure to fill your responsibilities required, such as attending conferences and participating in the individual plan for your child. A positive relationship between the parents and school personnel makes you more secure and labels you as a responsible parent.
