Mom and daughter picturePlanning is the key to success. Your child's special education is a long-term project. You need a master plan that you will revisit and revise as your child grows.

A master plan is different from your child’s IEP.

A good master plan includes goals for the child in non-academic areas -- hobbies, interests, sports, health, and well-being! 

As a parent, it is your responsibility to make long-term plans for your child.

In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate you will find advice and strategies to help you make a long-term plan for your child. Learn how the effective parent advocate focuses and stays on track.

We hope you will forward this issue to other friends, families, or colleagues.

Become Your Child's Case Manager

Wrightslaw Research Editor Sue Whitney explains why you should NOT just go with the flow!
