Dear Families,
The purpose of this website is to support and help families understand the process towards special education. Empowering families with knowledge about this process can help them advocate for their children and feel as comfortable as possible through the process.
As a special education teacher, I believe families are essential partners in the education of their children. Families are the ones that know their children best and are key contributors when a child is going through the process of either RTI and/or special education.
It is important to point out that this website will present you with one point of view and process from one district. Each district within a state follows guidelines from their state department of instruction, but each district will have some differences on philosophies and their approach.
I hope you find this website helpful to you and your family and your feedback is appreciated.
Thank you and enjoy this website.
