How do I know what my son's rights are and what to do in an ARD?

[Guest guest]

My son is 4 this fall. We might start public school next year before

he starts kindergarten the following year. I'd like to take this year

to figure out what all I need to do and prepare for the ARD so that

they don't try to run us over and get away with doing what they want

instead of what's best for him. Where do I begin?

www.wrightslaw.com and www.fetaweb.com are both good starting places

learning your son’s rights and how to advocate for them. Also, if

there is a support group near you, it’s a good place to learn from more experienced

parents. Both www.autism-society.org

and www.feat.org have chapters in Texas.
