Parents as Partners Handbook

The Parents as Partners Handbook is an essential resource for parents and teachers. Most importantly, it includes comprehensive information on the creation and implementation of the Individual Education Program (IEP). It also serves as a fact sheet outlining the 6 principles covered in the Individuals with Disabilities Education act (IDEA). The handbook also outlines the language and acronyms commonly used in the field of Special Education. Parents who have children with disabilities can use this handbook to learn more about how they can participate as an equal member in their student's IEP process. General education teachers who review the handbook will be in a much better position to collaborate effectively with Special Education teachers regarding students with disabilities.
