Questions to Ask at Your Next ARD Meeting

2019-05-20T12:08:34-05:00

Just hearing the word ARD (Admission Review and Dismissal meeting) can cause terror in some parents.

You may ask the school how and where to get an independent evaluation or you may get the independent evaluation done by someone not recommended by the school, as long as this [...]
