What's PWN?

• PWN, or Prior Written Notice, is your backstage pass to understanding school recommendations and your child's educational journey.
• It's your GPS, guiding you through changes in your child's education – from identification to FAPE.

The Power of PWN

• PWN isn't just a piece of paper; it's a superhero cape for parents.
• It's your right to be informed and challenge decisions that might affect your child's education.
• Even if everyone's on the same page, PWN is your secret weapon to document IEP decisions.

Your Right to PWN

• You have the right to request PWN. If it's not delivered, ask for it.
• It should be crystal clear, in your language, and easy to understand.
• Knowing the law, like Section 303-421 under IDEA, arms you to be the best advocate for your child.

Conclusion

• PWN is your passport to active, informed, and powerful parenting in the special education process.
• It secures the support and services your child deserves – it's your key to success.
