Let's Dump The Smiley Faces & Get Meaningful School-Home Communication

Published: Tue, 09/07/21

Are you tired of getting vague notes from school that have smiley faces to show what kind of day your child had?

Or do you get some information through texts about what your child was doing, but you’re still left wondering what does it look like for your child to be included.

The best way to know how your child is doing is to go to school and visit the classroom. That’s not possible for all parents.

Some teachers may send pictures of work your child is doing, maybe even short videos. And those are great ways to document what your child is doing!

But, what about knowing how the staff is embedding your child’s IEP goals in the general education curriculum and if they are using natural environments like the lunch room to encourage your child’s social and communication skills – how do you find out that information?

And then there’s always the mystery of which accommodations are being used and if anyone is tracking which ones are most useful.

Would you like a handy-dandy tool that can be used for daily home-school communication that would tell you:

*which IEP goals were embedded throughout the day in general education settings

*what kind of prompts, if any were used at different times

*which accommodations were used in each subject area, and during other times in the school day

Thursday, Sept. 9th I'm going to share tool that is simple for the staff to use, gives you specific information and can be easily adapted for your child.

If you want a copy of this tool that's officially called The IEP Goals and Accommodations Matrix emailed to you on Friday morning, just use this link iep.today/WeeklyAdvTips and get signed up.

As always, our Art of Advocacy live trainings are recorded and you can re-watch the show or catch the replay.

It's just more fun when you can be live with us! PLUS you can ask YOUR questions and get answers and ideas from myself and our other knowledgable parents, advocates, and educators.

WHEN: Thursday, September 9th

Noon Mtn. Time, 2 pm ET, 1 pm CT, 11 am PT

WHY: When the educators know more about your child and you know more about what happens at school, the more successful your child will be.
