What if I disagree with the school's IEP goals for my child?

Non-attorney education advocate Lisa Carey says, "If you disagree with a goal, it's a good idea to have an idea of what the goal can be and share that at the IEP meeting. The district may want to tweak it to fit requirements (e.g. criteria, 4 out of 5 times). Even if you don’t necessarily know how to write the goal, you can suggest general areas (e.g. sensory processing, be able to hold a conversation better)."
