Raising any child is a challenge. Raising a child with a disability is ten times harder. Challenges arise in the home, in the community, and, of course, in the school.
It can seem overwhelming. You worry about your child's future. Will she learn to read? Will he finish high school and go to college? Will she be able to live on her own when you no longer can care for her? Will he stay out of trouble? Will she have a family someday? Will he have a full and happy life?
| FLASH! Pa. special ed "appeals panels" abolished. Time for completing school evaluation reduced to 60 "calendar" days (not counting summers). For these and other changes that begin on July 1, 2008, see the new regulations at: http://www.pde.state.pa.us/stateboard_ed/cwp/view.asp?A=3 ("Chap.14 final") |
You recognize that an education is essential to your child's future. But your dealings with the school are sometimes confusing and intimidating. Twenty-page IEPs that you cannot understand. Meetings with administrators and teachers where you feel outnumbered and "outgunned." Requests for help from the school that sometimes are met with responses like, "We know what we're doing." You fear that your child is falling farther behind. You are concerned that time may be running out.
| 1. Help your child become a better reader -- learn the key components of reading. Go! 2. Three simple steps to a good IEP: Prepare! Participate! Monitor the results! Read more. 3. IDEA 2004. The law has changed! Read. 4. Changes in the law affecting special education. How will the Murphy and Schaffer decisions affect you? Click here. 5. You can get the services your child needs by taking action on the things you alone control. (Click here). 6. The Gaskin settlement and the "least restrictive environment." What you need to know. |
Help is available! The law is on your side. Its promise is simple: Every child counts. Every child is entitled to an education. Every eligible child with a disability is entitled to a "special" education - one that confers "meaningful benefits." That is what Congress has said. That is what the United States Supreme Court has said.
The law protects every child. The law protects you as your child's parent.
