IEPs

Individual Education Plans or IEPs are the way to make sure your child gets the help they need in school.  This is not just for normal k-12 schooling, it works for college as well.  They call is accommodations in college.  There are so many things that you need to think about when it is time to create or modify the IEP.  I was so lost in the beginning.  The main things to think about is:  what are the limitations that the child experiences and what are the resources that are available.  Do not be afraid to ask a lot of questions so you can understand what is going on.  The IEP allows the parents to be involved with the education planning and also can address discipline.  It also provides legal protection when it comes to the child's education.  Here are some tips that can help.  Ask questions, there is never a stupid question when it comes to this topic.
