HELPFUL SITES

A family member was kind enough to direct me to these sites. I have been having a hard time understanding IEP and 504 plans. It is very confusing for any parent. The best thing you can do for your child is to be informed as much as you can. I am lucky to have family members who can direct me when I need it.
