Did you know that the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and SPEDTex now offer a free, voluntary support option to help families and school districts resolve special education concerns early, before they escalate?  This process, called Early Resolution (ER), provides a trained facilitator to guide a productive conversation, build relationships, and help develop mutually acceptable solutions, all while preserving positive relationships.
