Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

MV SELPA Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Resources

The Mission Valley SELPA embraces the tenets of resolving differences in a collaborative and meaningful manner.  To do so, in place is a process by which parents, caregivers, and guardians can request Alternative Dispute Resolution, after the site based resources are exhausted.  

ADR may be requested by either parent(s) or the district. ADR is entirely voluntary and must be agreed to by all involved parties. The District has several options to support ADR.  

1. Facilitated IEP 

2.  An Informal Resolution Session

3. Mediation session 

To request any of these options, please contact your district's director.
