Problem
What are some ways that schools may make it difficult for families to participate meaningfully in the development of children's IEPs?
What are some stereotypes and biases that educators may hold about the families of students with disabilities? [Hint: make sure you address intersectionality, e.g., how stereotypes educators hold about women/mothers, families of color, etc., impact the families of students with and without disabilities]
How can we, as teachers, make sure that our students' families are able to participate meaningfully in our students' educations? Give specific, concrete suggestions.
