education and related services from public schools.

disability in one of 13 categories in the law and need special education to make
progress in school. Not all kids who struggle in school will qualify.

an Individualized Education Program (IEP). The IEP is tailored to a child'sunique needs
and may include the following:

and needs EX) Explicit reading instructions

EX) extra time on tests, seating at the front of the class
· Assistive Technology- tools that help the child work around barriers to learning EX)
calculators, keyboards, graphic organizers
* Parents and guardians have the right to be part of the team that develops the IEP.
