Whether your child has recently been referred to the school's Planning and Placement Team (PPT), or if your child is already receiving special services, we hope the information on the following pages will be helpful to you.
 
As parents, you are important members of the Team, and your input is invaluable in our quest to help your child.  We urge you to become informed of the terms and procedures, know your rights, and take an active role in the meetings and education of your child.
 
The purpose of these pages is to assist you in understanding your rights so you are able to make educated choices in helping your child.  Many often used terms are defined and procedures outlined below.  We also list many links to other sites that will provide more indepth information.  Most importantly, we urge you to contact our office if you have any questions or concerns that you wish to discuss personally with us.
