March 25, 2024
The responsibilities and rights of parents are a crucial role in the special education community. Parents must advocate for their children's needs along with that parents can request that changes are made at any time during the period of services being rendered. Yes, it is true that all requests may not be approved but we won’t know until we have taken a swing at it. Being
that special education law covers a lot of information and can be overwhelming I think it is best to have an IEP meeting with all parties involved. During that meeting the parents should be provided with the handbook that covers their responsibilities and rights. Also, the parents should have a walkthrough guide of the book, I would suggest to being with 10, 10 represents the 10 facts of parent/guardian merits.
In the policies and strategies there are safeguards in place to make sure that everyone involved is held accountable for any decisions or choices made.
Procedural safeguards don’t spell out what services or accommodation should be in an IEP.
Instead, they describe the ground rules for how you’ll work with the school (Understood.org,
2020) Below you will find listed the 10 rights of parents these rights are set forth by the Department of Education.
(1) Attend (IEP) meetings and represent your child's needs.
Parents can request a meeting to review or change the services provided at any time.
(2) Have an advocate or expert present at individualized education program (IEP) meetings. Having an LTSE person present is beneficial being that these individuals are experts in placement and special education.
(3) Obtain a copy of their child's evaluation, its okay for parents to disagree with the findings parents can also request an independent contractor to provide evaluation
(4) Submit a written report sourced from references as a component of the assessment procedure.
(5) Make sure to review all the documents related to your child and request a copy of the education plan.
(6) Disagree with the decision of the (IEP) team and pursue complaint procedures, including filing a child complaint with the Department of Education, state paid mediation, have an impartial due process hearing, and appeal the due process decision to the court. (7) Participate in reviews of the (IEPs) and in any decision to change any aspects of the IEP, as well as receive a written notice of action before a change in your child’s Procedural Safeguards educational placement or the provision of a FAPE.
The school must provide you with prior written notice before it changes your child’s special education experience. This includes when they want to deny or add services (Lee, 2019).
(8) Have your child placed in the LRE and in a general education classroom to the greatest extent
possible.
