Alternative Dispute Resolution

Sometimes parents disagree with the school district about something related to their child and special education. When you disagree or feel that the school is not meeting its legal obligations, there are several ways for parents to resolve these disagreements.
It is usually best for everyone involved to work out differences at the lowest possible level with the least amount of conflict. This presentation has information about:
1. Informal ways to resolve differences.
2. Formal options offered by the State.
3. Preparing and communicating your concerns.

Webinar Todo sobre Aplicaciones

Independientemente de los obstáculos que enfrente su hijo, las aplicaciones y otros medios incluidos en esta presentación pueden darle un impulso adicional. Por supuesto, no esperamos que una aplicación sea una solución completa. Trabajar con estudiantes que enfrentan desafíos requiere mucho tiempo, atención y paciencia por parte de un padre, maestro u otro cuidador adulto. Nuestro objetivo es ofrecerle una gran cantidad de aplicaciones divertidas que puede agregar a su kit de herramientas mientras trabaja con su hijo.
