Regardless of whether you are a parent of a child with a disability, an educator or provider of special needs services, chances are good that you have challenges deciphering how to write Individual Education Plan goals. In this comprehensive, easy-to-read book, you will find a vast array of sample goals to set you on a course to become a truly active participant in the IEP process. Having a child with a disability is challenging enough, but being faced with creating a document every year that will set the course for your child's education can be an enormous responsibility and indeed quite overwhelming. IDEA law mandates parental involvement in the development of the IEP, but many parents attend the annual IEP meeting as a silent partner, sometimes feeling paralyzed by the educational jargon and host of acronyms thrown out by the school staff. This book is made for parents who want to truly become the active participant that federal law promotes them to be. It is written by a parent, for parents and is written in such a way as to convey the perspective as such.
