Special education is about SUPPORT, not punishment!
When schools recommend evaluations or behavioral assessments, some families worry that the information will be used to discipline or penalize their child.
Karen emphasizes the importance of explaining the PURPOSE behind these processes.
The goal is to identify a student's needs, understand areas of concern, and determine what services and supports may help them succeed.
Parents deserve transparency, and students deserve opportunities to receive appropriate support.
It's not about catching a child doing something wrong. It's about understanding what they NEED!
