Understanding Evaluations and Progress Reports
An evaluation, classroom report, and parent’s observations may describe different parts of the same picture. Gather the reports you have and note where the findings seem inconsistent or difficult to understand. Zachary and Carina can help you organize questions about how the information relates to eligibility, goals, services, and the next school meeting.
Education and IEP Issues We Help With
We guide families through both informal school meetings and more formal dispute processes.
