[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope virtual options will remain in the future. The pandemic definitely allowed certain things to be easier. This is one of them. Same with parent/teacher conferences and back to school night. (I do think parents should have the option for IEP and conferences in person, just pointing out this is very convenient for working parents)[/quote]

It always was an option. Parents just had to ask for a phone or video option. Same for experts parents want at the meeting. The psychologist that did the neuropsychological testing for my child is in Baltimore. The team could meet in person at my child’s school but she participated over Zoom. Saved me for paying for her travel.[/quote]

That isn’t true.  Having someone call into a meeting was an option, but a fully virtual meeting where everyone is on equal footing was not an option.

I have been to so many more IEPs with both parents, and with service providers who aren’t based at individual schools (e.g. The TVI or AT specialist).  In many situations virtual is way better.  I think the choice should be the parents’ at this point but I hope fully virtual (not MCPS all in one room with “outsiders” on Zoom that’s awful) remains a choice.[/quote]
