Five Options, 1-2-3 (Dispute Resolution) (Current as of October 2019) (English and Spanish) (Center for Parent Information & Resources, CPIR)

Description:

There are times when parents and schools simply do not agree on some issue affecting a child’s education. They may try informal approaches to resolving the conflict, such as reviewing and revising the child’s IEP or holding a facilitated IEP meeting (an approach emerging in the field). When these don’t result in agreement on what represents an appropriate education for a child, the law (IDEA) provides several approaches that parents and schools can use to help resolve the dispute.
