How do I know whether my child is making meaningful progress?

Look at the data, not just a general statement that your child is "doing well." Ask:

• What was the starting point?
• What is the current performance?
• What does the goal measure?
• How often is data collected?
• Is the student on track to meet the goal?
• What happens if progress is not occurring?

Dr. Long's Assistant answers your specific questions in plain language — built from Dr. Long's expertise, plus state and federal law read at the source — never the open internet.
