When is it time to discontinue services, and how can you gain support from parents and educators when making that recommendation?

Knowledge is key to navigating these challenging conversations with confidence. So, Carlo begins by exploring the research on factors that influence parents’ level of satisfaction with the IEP process and meetings, as well as teachers’ insight on collaboration with school related service providers. Drawing from these lessons, Carlo will share six essential best practices that will help lay the groundwork for open communication, clarity about your role as a related service provider, and building trust from your first interaction with families and educators.

With the foundation of best practices in place, Carlo will address when it’s appropriate to discontinue services. He will review the guidance from the law and professional organizations, and then focus on three key scenarios in which discontinuation may be appropriate: when the goal has been met, when the benefits from services have been maximized, and when the student wishes to conclude services. Carlo will offer practical strategies for presenting the necessary data to support your recommendation and provide insights on how to handle the common pushbacks that arise in each of these scenarios. He will also highlight the importance of using the term “graduation” rather than “discontinuation” to frame the conversation more positively and foster an empowering dialogue that ensures the student’s best interest is at the heart of every decision. Finally, Carlo will share strategies for those times when you are unable to gain buy-in for your recommendation.

Leave this course equipped with practical strategies to approach these, at times, difficult, yet necessary, conversations with clarity and confidence!
