Advocacy

We understand how overwhelming a Dyslexia diagnosis can be. How do you do what is best for your child? What is an IEP? What accommodations should you ask for? What is IDEA and how do I know if my child is receiving the least restrictive environment for their learning? Why are there so many acronyms?!? We know this can be confusing, let’s start with some with the basics.
Here are some important terms for you to know going into your first meeting with the school:

  • FAPE (Free Appropriate Public Education), which is a legal right for students with disabilities to receive special education that meets their needs
  • LRE (Least Restrictive Environment) which is a key component of an IEP and is intended to be the most successful placement for a student
  • FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act), which is a federal law that regulates the management of student records and the disclosure of information from those records
  • IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) requires states to have policies and procedures in place to identify, locate, and. evaluate all children with disabilities in the state who need special education and related services.
