Hi Everyone!

I was recently frustrated by the practices of evaluation professionals in NOT providing informed consent, and NOT reviewing the Procedural Safeguards and the Guide to the ARD Process (IEP Process everywhere but Texas).  I was then reading an article online that gave me new fuel for the fire and mission of #SpedFAQs. The article discussed the author's frustration with the language used, and how it was too difficult for many parents to understand. She argues that the language in the documents needs to be changed; that because it is difficult to understand, it makes parents dependent on the school professionals, which would be an unequal standing. 

So - we are more committed to helping parents, guardians, and teachers everywhere so you all can be informed decision makers in your student's education plan. 

Thanks for listening in!
