What makes a parent a successful advocate for their child with disabilities? What helps a professional understand what a parent is going through? Legal protection is available for parents of children with disabilities; sadly not all parents are aware of it. This presentation offers professionals the basics to teach their families how to successfully work with schools for their child’s educational future. Protection of the parent/school relationship is the most important aspect of successfully advocating for a child with disabilities. Professionals can easily support parents in this model of parent/school relationship building without jeopardizing their position. IDEA, Rehabilitation Act, and ADA protects parents, it’s up to the parents to protect their relationship with school personnel. If parents know this information before they enter the LEA, they will be more successful at working with the school for the optimal placement of their child.
