Document Summary
Idea(us) and bill 82-the education act on special education (ontario) Parents have the right to decline special education for the child because they know the child better than anyone else. Teachers are in charge of the entire class, not just one student. Principal is in charge of the entire school. Whe(cid:374) pare(cid:374)t de(cid:272)li(cid:374)es iep, tea(cid:272)hers (cid:272)a(cid:374)(cid:859)t do a(cid:374)(cid:455)thi(cid:374)g a(cid:271)out it. The board is concerned with getting help for that one student. If they see that it is neglect they will. If neither of these two options are seen as conclusive, parents will go against the school board: child(cid:859)s rights are al(cid:449)a(cid:455)s prote(cid:272)ted-this is what the legal framework does. When help is available but parent is declining it, it can be seen as neglect/abuse. When child needs something, school is able to provide it, parents recognize they need it, however they are unable to get the school to provide it for them.
