IEP Myths Debunked: Your Child must receive ALL services in the IEP

The School should fully implement your child’s IEP, regardless of remote, hybrid or in-person learning. This doesn’t mean a few, or some, or one service. This means the District must fully implement ALL of your child’s services. You should anticipate hearing from your child’s Team regarding if and how your child may receive these services differently, however please remember: YOU are a member of the IEP team. The District is not the Team. The District cannot unilaterally implement an IEP (or tell you how they will implement services) without parental input and meaningful participation regarding your child and what he or she needs for FAPE. This type of decision requires meaningful participatory discussion which includes the consideration of parental input and data - data you collected as a member of the Team for over 6 months. Do not underestimate your seat at the table. You know your child best! You can find this letter in its entirety at: Back to School Letter for Families (September 2020)
