From CADRE, this chart makes it easy for parents to compare the different approaches to dispute resolution that are available to them: IEP facilitation, Mediation, resolution meeting, written state complaint, due process complaint/hearing request, and expedited hearing request & resolution meeting. These options are compared across many different dimensions, including but not limited to:
- how the dispute options differ;
- when to use one versus another;
- who initiates each process;
- outcomes or desired results of each;
- benefits and considerations;
- who pays for the process; and
- many other dimensions.
The chart is available in both English and Spanish, and black-and-white version is also available. Find all at:
