experiences without a limit on the amount or number of times we
spend with you.

IEP and when you are invited to attend your child's Annual Review,
or when you are asked to other meetings where you have to give
opinions on your child's progress and needs, we can help you to
prepare or attend those meetings.

disagree with school staff and other professionals on an aspect

work to resolve difficulties and avoid conflict.
