EVER HEARD THIS BEFORE?
You're Not Alone. And You Have Options.
Families across the country hear these frustrating and often false statements.
We're here to cut through the confusion and help you advocate with confidence.
"We dont do that here."
IDEA is federal, every school district is required to follow the law. You have rights.
"He's not autistic enough."
The law doesn't require a specific label to receive support.
"Dyslexia isn't
covered by IDEA."
20 U.S.C. Section 1401(30)
"Pickup your child, We cant handle him/her."
If the school cannot support your child a change of placement should be evaluated.
"The meeting is mandatory you must miss work."
Schools must schedule the meeting at a mutally agreed upon time and place.
"We already do that in the classroom."
Support should be written into the IEP to ensure consistency and accountability.
"The teacher was emergency certified.."
This doesn't exist, your child is missing valuable intervention and individualized instruction.
"We restructure yearly
and had to change the placement."
This is a lie. Placement is always a team decision.
"You need a psychiatrist evaluation."
The district must Identify, Locate, and Evaluate children with SUSPECTED disabilities.
"That's a private therapy issue."
If it impacts education the school may be required to provide services.
"(RTI) Responce to Intervention must be completed."
Schools cannot require RTI/MTSS first.
OSEP Memo 11-07
"Lets wait and see how they do with this."
IEP's are based on present levels, not wait-and-see approaches.
"There is no data to support that."
You have the right to ask for evaluations and see the data they used.
"They don't need it they have good grades."
Students can earn good grades and still need support.
"Your child no longer qualifies."
Progress can happen but, services should not be removed without sufficient data.
"That's our policy, thats the way we have always done things."
A policy without documentation is retaliation.
The truth is, you have more power than you think.
We know the laws. We know the system. And we know how to advocate for the support your child deserves.
Let us be your guide.
