This concise, family-friendly guide empowers parents—especially those from ethnically and linguistically diverse backgrounds—to navigate the special education process with confidence. It breaks down the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process into six clear steps, outlines parents' rights, and explains key terms such as accommodations, modifications, and interventions. The guide includes a side-by-side comparison of IEPs and 504 Plans and offers tips on advocacy, cultural responsiveness, and building community. Bilingual content (English and Spanish) ensures accessibility for a broader audience. Created by Lei’s Little Library, the guide reflects a commitment to equity, inclusion, and parent partnership.
