What if I
disagree?
If you do not agree with the evaluation
results, eligibility, or your child’s special education program, it is important
that you share your concerns. Talk to your child’s special education
teacher or contact the special education director’s office.
What
is mediation?
If you and the school district do not
agree on the IEP, you can appeal the decision of the IEP team. You may ask for
free mediation with a neutral third person who will try to help resolve the
dispute and reach agreement. Mediation is a useful way to settle disputes;
however, mediation cannot be used to delay or deny the right to a due process
hearing.
