Reflection on Parent Handbook link

This handbook is a surprisingly accessable tool to help parents understand the process of identifying and addressing special needs of children in schools. It is written in straightforward language, and offers suggestions to help parents advocate for their kids during a time when they might be feeling overwhelmed, scared, and/or confused. It is helpful for teachers as well, offering a guide for what expectations are legitimate to have of families, and setting a tone of mutual respect and cooperation.
