Resolving Special Education Issues

If your child is having difficulty in school, or you think a change to your child’s Individualized Educational Program (IEP) is needed, communicating with the appropriate school or district personnel is often the quickest, simplest way to resolve or address an issue.

 The first step in resolving a concern related to your student's special education programming is to contact the campus to discuss your concern and/or ask to schedule an ARD committee meeting to discuss your concerns. 

If your concerns continue to persist following campus discussions, feel free to contact the Katy ISD Department of Special Education for assistance at 281-396-2630.
