IEP Mediation: You Don't Have to Accept the School's Offer!


IEP mediation gives parents a chance to NEGOTIATE—not an obligation to agree!

Karen explains why mediation can be a valuable option for families and school districts working through disagreements.

Mediation is voluntary and confidential. Discussions during the process are protected, allowing both sides to explore concerns and possible solutions more openly.

And remember, parents are not required to accept a proposed agreement!

The goal is to find common ground while keeping the student's educational needs at the center of the conversation.
