Common themes • Staff training issues • Issues around getting enough information to evaluate child’s program • Issues around parent input being respected and incorporated into the education plan • Many of these issues dovetail: families need input into the child’s education program so that it can be individualized enough so the child can make progress; need communication (including measurable progress) so they can tell whether child is making meaningful progress.
