Special Education
Special Education Services are sometimes needed for a child to get the support that will allow them to be successful in school. I know a lot of parents who are vey hesitant to reach out for these services. They often have a negative association with the term "special education."
Try not to let preconceived ideas get in the way of your child's success and self-esteem at school. Use all the resources available to you to support your child.
Wrightslaw is my go-to website for any questions I have regarding special education services. Special Education Services are guided by Federal law so this is a great site no matter what state you live in. It has a great search engine where you can type in your topic and find answers. You can also find answers about 504 plans.
