Equity. Access.
Inclusion. Community.
As a parent or guardian of a child with a disability, you have important rights under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). These rights, known as Procedural Safeguards or Parent Rights, are designed to ensure that you are informed, involved, and empowered to participate in decisions about your child's education. They explain your rights throughout the special education process, including evaluations, Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), educational placement, and resolving disagreements. You can access copies of these documents here.
Understand these procedural safeguards and the IEP process can be very overwhelming. Here are some additional resources that can assist you in understanding these safeguards.
