A learner’s parents/guardians, and/or caregivers are important and welcome members of a learner’s support team. They know the child’s needs better than anyone and often have clear ideas as to the types of supports that will facilitate the child’s optimal development. Parents/guardians’ roles include the following:
- Sharing relevant documentation and coordinating the release of confidential files.
- Providing invaluable insights in the development of their child’s learning plan and Individual Education Plan.
- Assisting in the search for external service providers.
- Ensuring other support workers are contributing in alignment with the Integrated Learning Plan.
- Maintaining weekly observations in your child’s Portfolio to enable maximum support from the SelfDesign team.
