If your child receives special education services, then you’ve received a copy of the Procedural Safeguards which outlines your and your child’s right under IDEA. Many times this document will be handed to parents with little to no explanation and many parents laugh about how they’re just going to recycle it. PLEASE don’t do this!! It is vital that you read this document and talk to the special education teacher about what it means in regards to your rights. The only way you are going to know if your child’s rights are being violated is to know your rights in the first place.
