18 Things Special Education Teachers Want Parents to Know

"The first day of school can be overwhelming for the parent and the student, especially if the student is starting at a new school, in a new program, or with a new teacher. Just remember the first day is just that, one day. Everyone needs time to adjust. Stay positive. If there are bumps in the road, and there are sure to be, they will smooth out. Don't be afraid to reach out to your child's teacher. This lets them know you are open to communication." — Meaghann Babineau, Massachusetts
