Special Education Rights and the 18 year old student


   Did you know that most parental special education rights transfer to the child at age 18? Children need as much practice in self advocacy as possible before they turn 18 when parental rights transfer to the special education student unless guardianship has been established. Self advocacy skills prepare students for the world and their future beyond high school.

How is your child involved in his or her IEP meetings?
