Parents Resources

At GIMO Consulting, we understand that parents play a critical role in the success of their children with disabilities. That's why we offer a variety of resources to help parents navigate the special education system and support their children's education.

As a parent of a child with special needs, it's important to understand your rights and responsibilities under the law. Two important resources that can help you navigate this complex area are the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NC DPI) Exceptional Children's Division.

IDEA is a federal law that ensures students with disabilities receive free and appropriate public education (FAPE), including special education services and resources. The law also outlines parents' rights and responsibilities, including the right to participate in decisions regarding their child's education and the responsibility to ensure their child attends school regularly.

The NC DPI Exceptional Children's Division is dedicated to ensuring that students with disabilities and those who are academically or intellectually gifted receive an appropriate individualized education in the least restrictive environment. They provide resources and support for parents, including information on their rights and responsibilities under the law.

At GIMO Consulting, we understand that navigating the special education system can be overwhelming for parents. That's why we offer consultations and support to help you understand your rights and responsibilities and advocate for your child's education. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you and your child.
