FAMILY AND EDUCATOR PARTNERSHIP RESOURCES
The Family and Educator Partnership is committed to helping the schools we serve improve family engagement in special education. One such effort was by supplying schools with printed materials to help explain the special education processes in an organized file bin to be kept in the room where most IEP meetings are held. We hope you are still finding these resources useful. If you are in need of replacement materials, they can be ordered through https://aeacreativeservices.org/product-categories/ at the districts expense.
