Making the Case for Effective Progress w/ Attorney Dan Heffernan
Special education program and placement decisions
hinge on whether or not a child is making "effective progress." The state regulations further define effective
progress, but how does the definition operate in the real world? How can we determine what is or is not effective progress?
How do we document the presence or absence of effective progress for an individual student? What arguments are
we likely to face in meetings, and how do we counter them effectively? When there is disagreement about
effective progress, what are appropriate ways to resolve the disagreement, and what should we avoid?
Attorney Dan Heffernan from
Kotin, Crabtree, & Strong joins us to consider this perennial question and offer suggestions for advocates on this issue
