Understanding Special Education

During the past 17 years, I witnessed first hand the frustration parents can experience while trying to navigate through the special education process. As a public school counselor and administrator, I felt that schools were not doing an adequate job in preparing parents to effectively participate in their child’s IEP meeting. As a parent myself, I know that we just want the best for our children, and that a great education is important to all of us.

If you're the type of person who prefers to learn at your own pace instead of reading through web pages, I've created something just for you. The web site can be downloaded directly to your computer as a PDF or it can be purchased as a hard copy workbook. The workbook incorporates all of the valuable information from this web site along with some additional tips and strategies. It also provides sample forms and letters that you can use to communicate with your school. Before purchasing, you should view the Parent IEP Guide, and Table of Contents to see if it would be an asset to your family.

I hope to hear from you as your comments and questions continue to help me provide you with the best possible information and resources. Please remember that I am not a personal advocate for hire. My goal is to point you in the right direction so that you can find the answers to your specific situation. My opinions are my own and I do not claim to be an expert on your child's specific educational needs.

If so, I highly recommend that you read how I created this site and see how easily you can too. If you have a dream or a special talent, maybe you should consider sharing it with the world!
