Re: ASK Gail - REPLY to Sandy

You can still write a letter to document what has been happening.

There's a website called wrightslaw, run by an atty, that has everything a

parent needs to know about advocacy. I've enclosed the link here for letter

writing...this is an example of how to document an ongoing problem. You can

put all your points in that one letter:

Also, since your local speced director hasn't been any

help, the next step would be to call the NJ state speced office. Forward a

copy of your letter to them, and then follow up with a call.
