1. How will the therapists provide services for
my child (in what environment, classroom or therapy room?) What are some examples
of interventions that they have used to help students succeed?
2. To what extent will my child have access to
the general education curriculum and participate in activities with typically
developing peers? What is the teaching model? Self-contained/team teaching?
3. How
do parents and teachers/therapists communicate with each other?
4. How
do you handle challenging behaviors?
5. Is
my child going to have the same access to extracurricular activities as other,
non-disabled students?
6. Can you give me an example of how you
differentiate instruction for your students?
7. Why does my son/daughter require the
recommended placement?
8. Why? (Ask
for an explanation if you don’t understand or feel comfortable. Remember you know your child the best!)
9. What is the process if we (the team, you
included) feel the IEP needs to be changed?
10. Can I come observe in the classroom?
11. What is the level of parent involvement in your school?
How does the school promote communication between teachers, service providers,
and parents?
12. What steps will the
teachers and providers take to make sure the instruction fits my child's
learning style?
13. Will the homework reflect my child's individual needs as
often as possible? Will I be provided with resources and ideas for reinforcing
at home the material that is taught in school?
The IEP is the framework that guides the next year of your
student’s education. Take the time to
ask questions, share stories about your student, and be the best advocate you
can be!!
