Virginia is a state built on common law. This common law is intended to benefit/include all people and the state as a whole. With regards to the proposed changes in the special education regulation, my husband and I are opposed. The regulations should include more parent involvement in the lives of special education childern. I am a mother of three with two children covered currently under IEPs. Only through my involvement has their IEP development and implementation has each child been able to make forward progress. I have spent ever day of their lives with them and have the knowledge to assist educators with the development of an IEP and Behavioral plan that beneifits both my children and the priors.
Thank you -
