Issues which arise between parents of students with
disabilities and school personnel are often challenging and emotional.
Although everyone wants the best education program for each student, not
everyone always agrees on what is best.
Mediation can resolve many of these disputes at a lower cost, in less time and in a manner that often promotes better working relationships between parties. Everyone benefits, including parents, schools and the child. The Michigan Special Education Mediation Program (MSEMP) provides parents and schools with Special Education Dispute Resolution services FREE of charge in every county throughout Michigan. You can mediate disputes related to eligibility of services, evaluation outcomes, types of services and other matters that may interrupt effective communication and your relationship with the parent or school.
You an also facilitate the Individual Education Plan (IEP) with the assistance of a neutral third party. With a facilitator, everyone at the IEP meeting will be heard, measurements that are in the student�s best interest.
