If your tax records are in a mess, come April, so are you. Documenting your deductions is essential.

Good documentation is also essential for effective advocacy. Essential - and easy.

You don't need complicated computer programs or hi-tech equipment to create a paper trail.

The success of your child's education may depend on how well you document what happens during the IEP process.

In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate you'll learn why it is so important to create paper trails, and how to document your contacts with the school. Your paper trail may become important evidence if you need to prove your child's case.

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

Using Low-Tech Tools to Document Everything

Documentation that supports your position at the IEP meeting is a key to resolving disputes early. Train yourself to write everything down.

Here's your toolbox. The tools are simple:

Logs
Calendars
Journals
Problem Reports

If It Wasn't Written Down, It Was NOT Said - Create a Paper Trail

If you have a dispute or disagreement with the school, how can you prove it? What evidence do you have of your attempts to resolve the problem?

Documentation that supports your position is a key to making your case and resolving disputes early! Learn how.

Taking (and Maintaining) Control in the IEP Process

Why document? Documents answer questions and describe what happened.
