Re-Read Your Child's IEP

• Do you understand what the school agreed to provide?
• Do your child's teachers understand what they are to provide?

Never assume that teachers have a copy of your child's IEP or have had time to read it before school begins.

Re-read your child's IEP, then read How to Use IDEA 2004 to Improve Your Child's Special Education.
