The country’s response to COVID-19 has resulted in many changes to the way your child is receiving their education, but one thing remains intact - Your child is entitled to ALL of the supports listed in their IEP, regardless of whether it was written prior to the start of the quarantine. Cancellation of service or reduction of service is not an expectation due to the pandemic. If anything, your child may require MORE service, NOT less.

Parents, YOU must insist that your children are challenged to think, problem solve, guess, draw conclusions, correlations and analyze situations.
