We are knee-deep in the world of Special Education in New York City. In the last few articles, you learned how to begin the evaluation process for your child, what types of evaluations may be done, what happens at the initial IEP meeting and the 13 categories of special education. In this article, we will begin to dissect the actual IEP document so you can understand your child’s IEP.

In the next article, we will discuss the PLOP.
