@UnderstoodOrg First...an IEP meeting is a business meeting so parents must be prepared. An agenda is a necessity. Plus, a checklist of issues to be discussed, agreed to, rejected and tabled. #LDChat

@ctserc @EdNavigation @UnderstoodOrg Educators need practice in creating differentiated lessons & building assessments that show a students knowledge rather than a 1 size fits all assessments. Also really working with assistive technology & building 21st century skills. #LDchat
