Frequently Asked Questions

These are some of the most frequently asked questions from parents, family members, and other members of students' support networks. If you have a question that is not addressed here, please have your student reach out to our office.

As a reminder, your student should be the one taking ownership of this process and advocating for themselves when they can. Parents, family members, and other members of students' support networks can be there to help students behind the scenes, but we encourage students to be the ones to reach out to our office with questions or concerns.
