1. What is the special need of your child?

 My child has a speech impairment.

2.  What are your personal goals for the education of your child?

 I want my child to receive the same education and the same

 opportunities as all of the other students.

3. What is your current relationship with the school, special

 education, and administration?

 The school is always open to any questions or concerns I may have.

 They are not always proactive in seeking me out to give me

 information. There are times where they do not seemed as

 concerned about his education as I am.

4. How can it be improved?

 The special education department could set more personalized goals

 for him. They could also help him establish patterns to obtain those

 goals.

5. What form of communication is used and how often? Is this

 best?

 The first form of communication is always by telephone, second is

 mail, and third is email. Phone and email are best, because I am a

 busy person on the go. Again, I am the one contacting the

 department, not them contacting me.

6. How often do you communicate with the school?

 Once or twice a quarter usually, unless I have a concern.

7. How effective is the special education program?

 I have not heard any negative feedback. So as far as I can tell it is

 fine.

8. How flexible is the program to meet the needs to your child?

 The program and goals established for my son seem to be generic

 and not very personalized.

9.  What problems have you had with school?

 Sometimes I receive contradictory information from different

 people involved in my sons education. There are times the special

 education teacher will say one thing, and the classroom teacher will

 say another.

10. Are you part of any parent group?

 No.
