Detailed Info
- Mission:
- You want your child to have the best of everything -- especially education. But you may not even know where to begin, given the often confusing and ever-changing landscape of special education. The Individualized Educational Programs (IEP) are complicated -- but in "50 Ways to Support Your Child''s Special Education," you'll find simple ways to advocate for your child every day. You'll learn how to:
+ Communicate effectively with teachers
+ Get the most value from homework
+ Become more involved at school
+ Ensure your child is well-rested
+ Start a school day on the right foot
Advocacy starts at home, with you and your child. You don't have to take a backseat or take on the school district, the state, or the lawmakers to improve your child's learning experience. With these easy and effective tips, you can make a difference in your child's life, each and every day.
