Describe how you can enhance family participation in IEP conferences

What will be an ideal response?


One of the best ways to get families involved in the IEP process is by putting them in touch with parent training and information centers or community parent resource centers. The experienced parents at these centers will be incredibly helpful in supporting families by teaching them their rights and how to be active participants in the IEP conference. Sometimes, a staff member will even accompany a parent and support them in expressing their perspectives. Teachers can also advocate within their schools by encouraging everyone to structure IEP meetings in legally correct, efficient, and family-inclusive ways. [Students may include all or some of the 10 ways listed in the textbook.] When there is too much conflict between families and educators, it is helpful to have a facilitated meeting with an outside facilitator, or anyone who is good at mitigating conflict, who can structure the meeting to ensure fairness to everyone. The important thing is to plant the seeds for future partnerships.
