How involved should a parent be in the implementation of their child’s IEP?

"Very involved! It’s important that a parent be the #1 advocate for their child and that they are actively participating at school meetings if they have questions or concerns. They should be contacting the teacher directly, and if they’re not getting satisfying answers from their meetings with teachers, parents should contact the school principal in order to come up with a plan of action that assures the IEP is in fact addressing the child’s needs." -Markay Winston, Chief Officer of Instructional Learning Supports for Chicago Public Schools (pictured in an interview at our office here)
