 Are you frustrated with your child’s education? Is your child coming home from school not wanting to return? Are you seeing your child’s grades and academic achievement slipping further from their peers? Is your child caught in the “School to Prison Pipeline” because of skills deficits behavior, frustration, and/or anxiety? Do the words “suspension, exclusion, and expulsion” echo through your ears at team meetings, along with blame “he’s not motivated, he needs to be medicated”. Does the team ask you what’s going on in your home to make your child behave this way? Are you constantly called to come pick your child up from school because the school personnel cannot handle them? Has your child not passed the MCAS test? Has the school told you that your child no longer qualifies for an Individual Education Program (IEP)? Do you wish you knew what to do to help your child, and does it rob you of your peace?
It’s now time to take a deep breath and exhale; you are now in good hands. We are here to help you help your child. Our consultants are here to help you navigate through the confusion of special education laws and regulations; while providing you with tools and community connections that are specific to your child’s disability presentations and needs. Not only will you learn how, but you will also learn why and then what to do because of the why. Informed consent is the part of the law that tells you that you should know everything pertinent to your child’s disability and educational needs so that you can sign an IEP knowing that it will help your child make effective progress, thus giving consent because you have the right information. This is individual and invaluable if your child is struggling to learn, and will help restore your peace. |
