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
