The IEP is a valuable resource of information, but it cannot be used as documentation of the disability.

The IEP is a valuable resource of information, but it cannot be used as the sole documentation of the disability. Students are also asked to bring their CSE or diagnostic reports.

While the IEP is a valuable resource of information, it cannot be used as documentation of the disability. Q: What role do my parents play in the process? A: Students who are 18 years old or older are legally recognized as adults. As such, each student is responsible for his or her own accommodation requests and disability-related decisions. Students are encouraged to have open communication with parents or other significant family members, however, the Family Educational Rights to Privacy Act (FERPA) requires students to sign a DS Release of Information form to allow a discussion of your academic progress and grades with parents or other significant family members.
