Understanding Your IEP Parents Rights
An IEP or Individualized Education Plan meeting is required for any child that has trouble in school learning or not at grade level. It is important that folks know their IEP parents rights and that this is law that is in place to protect the child. This Civil Right requires schools provide for the needs of any student who is learning disabled so that they can receive an education.
The IDEA or Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act, is a law designed for children who are learning disabled. Some school districts are not very forthcoming when it comes to providing resources they are mandated by law to provide. For this reason it is vital that parents know how to advocate for their children.
At the parents request the district is obligated to offer an assessment for free of the child in all areas they are suspected to have learning disabilities. Some of these areas are social and emotional behaviors, health, vision, hearing, fine and gross motor skills, attention deficit problems, meeting potential, and grade level success. Once assessment is complete the school is to call an IEP eligibility meeting to see if the student meets special education services criteria.
If the child is determined to be eligible for services they are protected by state and federal law. This means that the school is mandated under the law to provide services to the child. If a child is not determined to be eligible for special education the school district is not required to provide anything.
When a child is found eligible the school must design a plan that sets out the goals, resources, and services that he or she need. Once a plan is developed, the district must implement and IEP for that child. What this means is that the student will remain in a general education class and provided with pull out or push in services. The services ensure the child will catch up to grade level and benefit from an education.
Unfortunately there are some school districts that knowingly keep students from services by not recognizing them as eligible. The reason for this is for the district to avoid spending money for those who are having problems learning. There are people who are convinced that limited budgets are provided to administrators for these types of services. It is important to note that every IEP team includes a member who is in charge of the budget.
Every student who has learning disabilities is considered protected by the law and must be treated equally. The must be afforded the educational benefits provided every student. This involves receiving supplemental resources to assist them in learning to the same extent their classmates are learning. IDEA is unlike other laws in that parents are required to fight for the rights of their student.
Parents must know the law to ensure the rights of their children. Often parents are told that their child does not meet the eligibility requirements for special education resources. Although school districts are required to provide the services, the politics of the school board overrides the law. It is up to the parents to fight for their rights.
