Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), parents of children with disabilities have responsibilities to ensure their children receive a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). Here's an overview:
Collaboration: Parents are expected to collaborate with school personnel in the development, review, and revision of their child’s IEP.
Engagement: Parents should be actively involved in decision-making processes and participate in meetings, reviews, and planning sessions.
Advocacy: Parents should advocate for their child’s educational needs and ensure that the school provides the services and supports as agreed upon in the IEP.
Monitoring: It is the responsibility of parents to monitor their child’s progress and ensure that the IEP goals are being met. This may involve regular communication with teachers and school staff.
Providing Information: Parents are responsible for providing necessary medical, educational, or other information that may assist in the educational planning and support for their child.
These rights and responsibilities are designed to create a partnership between parents and schools, ensuring that children with disabilities have access to tailored educational services that meet their unique needs.
