No matter where your child goes to school, do not be afraid to ask questions! Parents should always know:
1. The qualifications of the staff working with their child, INCLUDING the aides! The aides often, illegally do much of the instruction for our kids, aides are not allowed to teach. They are limited in what they are allowed to do.
2. Know the methodologies and programs being used on your child always! Know the staffs training in said things.
3. Know what level your child is at in comparison to the rest of their peers and groupings, you should know are they the highest in the group, the middle, the lowest. It matters. Groupings must be appropriate!
4. Know your child's schedule! Keep track of services that are not being given or made up. Make ups are not when your child is absent, its when the therapist is not there.
5. ASK< ASK< ASK! There are no stupid questions when it comes to our kids! If something does not seem right, ASK! Investigate!
