Individualized education programs this fall

From Child Neurology Foundation

Our Back To School series continues for Part 2 this week, where we look at several different challenges our community is facing this fall. 

Have a read of this comprehensive blog post that delves into implementing individualized education programs during our new normal, with a look at what families are able to request during these unusual times. In addition to background information to help you better understand your rights and potential options, we also have answers to more than two dozen commonly asked questions from parents and families. The questions include:

• What are compensatory services, and do they apply to the current situation?  
• Can my child still access the assistive technology they had at school? 
• Can my child still get school-provided transportation services? 
• If a school can’t give an assessment, how can parents demonstrate/document regression or new needs?
• If my child is immune compromised, what is the policy to notify parents of exposures/cases in the school? 

We answer these questions and many, many more in our blog post which is available on the main Back To School web page.
