Concerned that Tyler's academic needs are not being met, Allie schedules a meeting with the special education teacher, the school principal, and Tyler's parents. Is this an appropriate strategy? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
It is certainly advantageous to get varying perspectives on what might be best for Tyler. Furthermore, in the United States IDEA specifies that appropriate school faculty members and a child's parents should all be involved in decision making about the best placement for a child with a disability. However, Allie probably should have met with Sharon Osmer and Cecelia Dawson before meeting with Tyler's parents. Instead, she has a power struggle with both Sharon and Cecelia in front of the parents.
