Have you ever read part of your child’s IEP and thought to yourself: that does not sound like them? Do you ever wonder if your child is actually getting the services they need every week AND for the appropriate amount of time? If the reading intervention they attend is truly the best fit? Or if the classes they are taking in the later grades are really setting them up for success?

Even the most collaborative team can be in disagreement or have differing views about what will best support a student in school. Heck, I’d be hard pressed to find a team of human beings in ANY situation that 100% agrees 100% of the time.

But that doesn’t make a situation or occasion when you are not in agreement with your child’s school team about 1 or more areas any less uncomfortable or challenging. This can happen especially if you typically work well with them, respect them and appreciate them and their work with your child.
