Ensure that all necessary parties, including parents, are involved in the decision-making process and that legal requirements for developing IEPs are met.
7. Document everything: Keep detailed records of all communications, meetings, evaluations, and decisions made throughout the special education process. This documentation will be crucial in case of disputes or to demonstrate compliance with the law.
