Bringing Advocacy to the Table:

Taking Ownership of Your Child’s Educational Journey

• Managing back to school issues that have not changed over the summer

• Parent observations, input and concerns in assessing their child’s progress

• Requesting a prompt referral to a PPT meeting – when the child’s academic progress, behaviors and/or attendance performance are at a marginal or unacceptable level

• Preparing for the PPT meeting

• Comprehensive evaluations and the IEE, review of progress and accountability

• Turning Point: Next Steps – How to create a plan of action if your child is still struggling and the school is not responding to your child’s needs

• Q & A
