Be Your Child's Advocate!

Both as a parent of two special needs children and as a teacher, I am aware of all that can be done to assist your child so his needs are met in school. I know that several schools will not provide certain services and even get away with it because parents are often unaware of what can be done in school. Most schools won't promote their services for a reason or another, especially in the United States. In fact, you often read about the legal issues that parents must deal with in order for their children's special needs to be met in school.

Here are some tips that I have for you! Of course, each state may differ as the Canadian provinces and territories do regarding special needs children, but some if not all these steps can be followed and provide you all that you need for your child to grow and develop well in school.

  1. Research is the key. Do your homework by finding out all that is offered through the government and the types of funding available for children with special needs. You will be amazed. In our case, our social worker did not provide much information in this area. In fact, most services that we now have for our children were found through extensive research done by my husband.
  2. Inquire about what to expect at the IEP meeting. Most IEP meetings are generally the same but depending of your state or province, the expectations and the way the meeting goes may vary. Inquire about what you can expect to see happen during the IEP meeting. Usually, specialists like the resource teacher, the speech therapist, the physiotherapist and the occupational therapist will participate in the meeting as well as your social worker, the classroom teacher and the principal. In some cases, the teacher aid who will work with your child will also attend the meeting. The main goal "should" be the same -- your child's special needs and how the school intends to meet them. Some schools may focus on the budget but always keep in mind that, as your child's advocate, your child comes FIRST! ...
