Are you in a dispute about your child’s special education services?
Does your child attend school in District 24 (Queens) or District 10 (Bronx)?
IEP FACILITATION IS AVAILABLE!
District 24 and District 10 have been chosen by the NY State Education Department to pilot the use of IEP Facilitation.
A facilitated IEP meeting is the same as any other IEP meeting, except that a neutral, trained facilitator joins the meeting to assist in developing an IEP for a student with a disability.
IEP Facilitation can be used to resolve disputes that can occur at IEP meetings, thereby reducing the need for due process (mediation and impartial hearings).
Can be requested for Committee on Special Education (CSE) meetings.
IEP Facilitators are certified by NYSED and trained in IEP development, special education law, regulation, and conflict resolution. The facilitator is not a decision-maker, is impartial, and does not represent the parent, school district, or State.
