		<description>Student orientation is SO important every year before school starts.  I can never stress that enough to parents of special needs children.

Another thing that is important that needs to be done before school starts is Staff Training.  To make sure there is safe learning environment that supports academic achievement for your special needs child, you should request training of all personnel that comes in contact with your child BEFORE the start of each school year. Have this added to your child’s IEP and make sure it is done way before school starts (you may have to call your child’s caseworker, etc. to get the ball rolling). Many schools say they are not required to provide this, but they are.
