Educating Parents
Knowing is half the battle! There are so many different options, programs, settings, etc. that are available to assist your child and if you do not have an education background, the information regarding all of these options are hard to find. Areas of consultation include:
What is an IEP?
What is an Accommodation vs. Modification.
STAAR testing eligibility and accommodations.
Functional Behavior Analysis and Behavior Intervention Plans
How do I ensure that my child is being supported at school?
What are my rights as his/her parent?
What should I look for in goal writing?
What is a Full Individual Evaluation?
What is the procedure to receive special education services?
Reviewing Documentation and/or Attending Meetings
I will work closely with you on 504/IEP/FIE documentation. Following a complete analysis of the documentation, I will make sure all recommendations/goals are designed to contribute to your child's success. An analysis of the documentation will look at the following:
Is there a need for additional testing?
Are there SMART goals and do they need to be revised?
Is the schedule of services appropriate?
Are there additional accommodations necessary?
Explain modifications and what they mean for your child
Is the Behavior Intervention Plan appropriate and specific to your child?
What does the transition plan look like and what future programs does your child need for success?
Provide ongoing analysis of goals to evaluate progress towards goals
