Special Ed Moms
Thank you for visiting specialedmoms.com. This site is for parents and professionals who are
dedicated to raising, loving, or educating special needs children.  

Parents, you are already experts on your child.  Now it is time to become knowledgeable
about special education law and how it affects your child.  It is also time to understand the
educators' perspective, and how you can collaborate with them to create an appropriate
educational program for your child.

Educators, you are already experts in your domain, be it regular education, special education,
speech and language, occupational therapy, social work, physical therapy, administration or
psychology.  Now it is time to learn about special education law and how it affects your
students.  It is also time to understand the parents' perspective, and how you can incorporate
their insight into your students' IEPs.

There is more that UNITES us than divides us.

We all play on the SAME team!

Just like our the children, this website is constantly growing and
changing.  We are currently re-designing and building a new
website that will be an even more comprehensive source of
information for parents and professionals.  Please continue

Our new website will be:

When parents and schools act as partners, the child triumphs.  

Parents and educators can and should work together in a collaborative manner to develop appropriate educational
programs for children with special needs.  

Children with special needs are best served when parents and educators treat each other with professionalism,
courtesy and respect.  

This website is for people who believe that special education is a team effort based upon an equal partnership
between home and school.  

Welcome!
