Parent Resources Parents have always been important players in the special education process and their involvement is crucial to successful results for students. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 is intended to modernize and improve the involvement of parents in the IEP process in the following ways: Provides flexibility for paents and schools by allowing them to agree to make minor changes to a child's IEP during the school year without reconvening the IEP team and encouraging the consolidation of IEP and reevaluation meetings; Provides parents with greater opportunities for involvement in IEP meetings by allowing the use of teleconferencing, video conferencing, and other alternative means of participation; Clarifies that either the parent or the school may request an initial evaluation of a child to determine whether the child qualifies for IDEA services; Requires quarterly reports to parents on the progress of their child is making toward meeting IEP goals and how that progress is being measured, and short-term objectives for students with significant disabilities; Provides increased resources to support parents through dispute resolution and due process.
