Division of Special Populations Exceptionalities Professional Development Services and Programs ... Calendar Special Populations Parent's Rights Introduction and Purpose Both federal and state laws and regulations governing the administration of educational programs for students with exceptionalities have recognized programs for students with exceptionalities and have recognized the role of parents in the special education process. The success of any student’s program depends on the participation and commitment of all persons responsible for the student. A strong partnership between the school and the parents is essential. To be an effective advocate for your child, you must Be fully informed about the programs available in or through your local educational agency (LEA), Be knowledgeable of your child’s rights, Participate in IEP team meetings, Ask questions and voice concerns when you are unsure of the appropriateness of your child’s program. As partners in your child’s education, both you and the LEA personnel involved in your child’s educational program have a responsibility to consider the child’s needs and to provide an appropriate educational program to meet those needs. If you disagree with what is being proposed, actions—such as presenting your questions and concerns to your local director/supervisor of special education; filing a complaint with the Louisiana Department of Education, Division of Special Populations; requesting mediation conferences, or requesting a due process hearing—can be initiated to resolve a dispute.
