As the parent of a child with special needs, you have certain rights that you may not be aware of. It is important to know what these rights are and to use them to advocate for your child.
Your child has the right to a free and appropriate education. This means that your child should be placed in the least restrictive environment possible and given the resources they need to succeed.
You also have the right to access information about your child’s education. This includes their Individualized Education Program (IEP) and their educational records.
You have the right to participate in your child’s education. This means that you should be involved in their IEP meeting and any other decision-making about their education.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
You have rights as a parent of a child with special needs, and it's important to know what they are. The best way to ensure that your child is getting the education they deserve is to be informed about your rights and to use them.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a federal law that guarantees all children with disabilities the right to a free and appropriate education. This means that your child has the right to receive an education that is tailored to their individual needs.
As a parent, you have the right to be involved in the development of your child's Individualized Education Program (IEP). This is a document that outlines the goals and services that your child will receive. You should make sure that your voice is heard during the IEP discussion and that you review and approve the document before it is submitted for approval.

When it comes to the education of our children with special needs, parents have certain rights that are protected by law. Here is a quick overview of some of the laws that protect the rights of parents of children with special needs:
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
The Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA), is a federal law that governs the education of children with disabilities. Under IDEA, children with disabilities have the right to a free and appropriate public education (FAPE). This means that schools must provide children with disabilities the resources and supports they need to access the curriculum and make progress in school.
The Americans with Disabilities Act
It is important for parents of children with special needs to be aware of their rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including education.
Under the ADA, children with special needs are entitled to a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) that is tailored to their individual needs. This means that schools must provide the necessary resources and services to ensure that children with special needs can learn and thrive.
Parents have the right to be involved in their child's education and to participate in decisions about their child's education. Parents also have the right to file a complaint if they believe their child's rights are being violated.
The Rehabilitation Act
As a parent of a child with special needs, it's important to know your rights. One of the most important rights you have is under the Rehabilitation Act. This act guarantees your child's right to a free and appropriate education.
You also have the right to participate in your child's education. This means you have the right to be involved in decisions about your child's education, including what services they receive and where they go to school.
