This section is for you, the professionals.

We have attended IPRCs and other meetings, have had discussions with principals, superintendents, special ed resource teachers and a variety of related school personnel. We have found it constructive to act as a liaison and buffer between parents and the schools. We have directed energies towards creating as positive a relationship with the school as possible and have made efforts to help the parents  understand some of the circumstances of the school's position. Our philosophy is overwhelmingly directed towards a collaborative win-win situation and not a combative one. Emotions have to be seen in the context of what is best for the special  needs student in question.
