Five Critical Questions

  1. What does my child need to be successful in the general education classroom?

  2. How will special education services help with his or her success?

  3. When, where, how frequently, and by whom will these services be provided?

  4. How will the school assess my child's progress, and how often will I receive notice of my child's progress?

  5. What can I do to assist in my child's progress?
