ABCs of the IEP
Does the IEP process make you feel intimidated and unsure of what your role is? Do you feel you have more to contribute but aren’t sure about how to do it or how it will be received? Do you wonder why the IEP is sometimes already filled out when you get to the meeting? We can answer these questions as well as give you insider tips on how to get the most out of your child’s IEP.
