Your student Lucas was diagnosed recently with dyslexia, a learning disability covered under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Lucas's mom is distraught to learn about her son's disability, and she knows nothing about an IEP or special education

Explain the IEP process to the mom and describe how she will be involved in her son's education. Describe what's included in an IEP.

What will be an ideal response?


Suggested Response: Mrs. Lucas, your son's learning disability is covered by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This law ensures that students with any disability receive the education and support they need to succeed. Millions of children are covered under this law. When IDEA was drafted, lawmakers recognized that each student covered by this law is unique and needs an individualized education program
