Become Involved in School

It is important to be involved with your child's school from the beginning. You should be aware of how your child is performing in school in terms of academics and social skills. You have a right to all of their records. Many schools offer parent information nights in elementary schools. This is also a great time to establish yourself as a partner on the IEP team, working with the school to best support your child's needs. Advocate for additional or related services if your child is not getting what they need.
