To think that this process will only get weaker is very concerning, in fact  a travesty
by Renee and Michael Woods

As a parent and advocate for my daughter in the East Brunswick school system, it has been a challenge ensuring that her IEP is adhered to.  We were told that some days she is "off" and some days she is "on" -- we examined what she was eating and the time she went to bed but couldn't find what was changing day-by-day.  My child hasn't changed but her IEP is not administered consistently.  Staying on top of this is very difficult for us, as parents and adults -- we can only imagine what it is like for her to try and advocate for herself as a student and child.

 

To think that this process will only get weaker is very concerning, in fact  a travesty.  We must, as parents and advocates ensure that they stand by "No child being left behind".  We would like to know how the suggested changes supports that slogan.
