Feel free to post questions and answers about Massachusetts special education law in this discussion forum. But let's also try something different. Most of the Internet resources I've found fail to explain the 'real world' of Massachusetts special education law. What happens, for example, when a family challenges an IEP in front of a mediator or in court? How do they do? What do they learn from the experience, and what would they do differently? I would like to open this Forum up to all of you who have real world experiences and are willing to share them to educate the rest of us. Thank you, in advance, for sharing your stories from the front line.  The Editor
