What is the Notice of Procedural Safeguards and why do I always get a copy with my IEP documentation?
Procedural Safeguards are exactly what they sound like – they are carefully crafted safeguards built into the Special Education procedures. Every parent of a Special Needs child should read this document. In fact, the document should be re-read EVERY TIME it is sent home. Why? This is more than just the fine print. This document spells out in very simple terms your basic rights. If you can’t put your hand on the last copy sent home, check the Special Ed page of the State DOE web site or get it from this site here.
