“It’s just business!”
When working with your students’ administrative team at the school, keep in mind that there will be plenty to discuss and perhaps even more “red-tape.”
Everyone in the team will certainly appreciate honesty in any conversation. Any discussion about your child’s goals, challenges, accommodations or IEP should be straight forward and to the point. The school will do the same, not because they don’t value your child, but because they want to be sure your child is getting everything he or she needs at the school level. Try not to be too nervous because handling these challenges is easiest when the emotion has been removed from the scenario. Stick with the facts, forget the name calling, or taking things personal–it’s not. It’s just business!
