The Parent’s Guide to the Admission, Review, and Dismissal Process (Parent’s Guide) is a comprehensive, easily understood document that explains the individualized education program (IEP) process for a student in a special education program.  The parents’ rights is intended to be a companion document to, not a replacement for, the Procedural Safeguards as it incoporates a parents’ rights and responsibilities concerning the ARD process.
