If you are like many parents, when you receive a phone call or a letter asking for your attendance at your child’s IEP meeting, you start to feel anxious. You may feel anxiety, confusion, or even feel inadequate at these meetings. What should you do? Say? What is your role while sitting with your child’s team?
You, as your child’s parent are the expert. You make casual observations about your child in hundreds of different situations.
Preparing for a Team meeting can be a stressful time, but if you take the time before the meeting you will be better prepared to help meet the needs and progress of your child’s education and social development.
