An Individual Education Plan (IEP) or Ministry special education designation are not required to have human rights protection. A school should respond to known or reasonably apparent disability-related needs while questions about assessment or paperwork are being addressed.
The school may need relevant information to understand the barriers and suitable accommodations. Share what you know about your child’s needs, including existing reports, observations, and the effects you see at home. Ask what further information is needed and why.
If your child is waiting for an assessment, ask what support can begin now. If there is no IEP, request another written record of the accommodations, responsibilities, and review date.
