Hi Karen,

Thanks for commenting (and providing a link to your other site “Snuggle Deep Retreat”). I hope my article does not come out as a criticism — I think you’ve done a great job presenting the nuts and bolts of special education. I just wanted to add information about the very beginning of the process, since that part is rarely covered in articles and even books on IEPs and special education. Keep up the good work! (And I must say I’m sorry you quit your previous line of work. You sound like you were a very good teacher and school administrator.)
