[blindkid] [Bulk] IEP Document Accessibility

[Brandy W]

Hi, Yes they would require another language to be translated. I know they 
have to make it accessable if the parent is blind, but I don't know about 
the student. My parents and teachers used to go over all my goals and get my 
opinion. I started beeing a part of my goals in 5th grade. Hope that helps, 
Bran
