I thought I would share this great find! Often parents do not know where to start or how to get help for their children with special needs in the school systems. With school being back in session NOW is the time to start the IEP process! Do not delay if you start the wheels rolling now it will not be in place until the holidays. However, once the process is started your child is protected under the IEP guidelines for any behavioral occurances or issue that may occur during the process.
Recently Heather Forbes, LCSW (aka http://www.beyondconsequences.com/) interviewed Claudia Roberts, Esquire and advocate about the inner workings of an IEP (Individual Educational Plan). Listening is FREE however this information is PRICELESS! Enjoy!
