An IEP isn't just about following procedures. It's about making PROGRESS! 📚
Karen and her guest explain why substantive issues are so important in special education disputes.
Under IDEA, procedural violations can result in a denial of FAPE when they impede a student's right to FAPE, significantly interfere with parent participation, or deprive the student of educational benefits.
But the bigger question remains: Were the IEP goals appropriate, was progress measured, and were changes made when needed?
Parents, don't just check whether the paperwork was completed. Check whether your child is making meaningful progress!
