AI-Presented It’s a Great IDEA: Procedural Safeguards

Please join us on https://www.facebook.com/ParentSupportNetworkFL on August 27th at 5 PM for the AI-presented seventh installment of our It’s a Great IDEA Series, in which we will discuss your rights to Procedural Safeguards, and how to invoke them.

As we all know, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) allows us to participate in every step of the educational decision-making process for our children with special needs. This directly pertains to the identification, placement, goal development, and services to be rendered to our children via the Individualized Education Plan (IEP).

Sometimes disagreements can occur at the IEP table over services, identification, placement, behavior management, and anything in between. If you are not feeling heard in the meetings, your child has a great IEP that’s not being followed by the teacher(s), your child has been incorrectly identified, refused ESE entry, you have been asked to pick up your student excessively/they spend a lot of time with the office staff, or you feel that you or your student’s rights have been violated, then it’s time to look into Procedural Safeguards.
