Forums

In this forum, we will post the forum rules, and the various How-Tos, if you're having trouble posting.

I also will post screencasts explaining changes and upgrades to the Forums as we grow.

Please ask any technical questions in here, thanks.

Welcome! We are going to party like it's 2005!

Woohoo! 

What's old is new again, and as social media continues to frustrate people, we're going back to forums. But, this is not your early 2000s forums, we're going to have so much more. 

As I add new features or change things up, I will post a video here and send an email out so that you're aware.

Have a question about a feature? Want to request something? Put it here and let us know.

Find something online that you'd like to share? Post it here.

Ask your IEP questions and share IEP tips here.

Does your child have a 504 plan? Ask those questions here.

If your child is 3 years old, or transitioning from Early Intervention (0-3) services to the preschool IEP, please ask those questions here.

If your child is approaching transition age or graduation, please post your question here, even if it is not transition specific. 

Many overseas families are still entitled to FAPE and bound to US laws like IDEA and Section 504. But, what the law says and what actually happens is not the same. If you are a military family overseas, or in a US territory like Guam, Puerto Rico, etc., this is your forum.

For many families like ours, we will have children living with us even when they are adults. This forum is for parents whose disabled children are no longer in the public school system and have different questions and situations than IEP questions.
