Different perspectives are encouraged in IEP team meetings. What happens when we can't reach consensus regarding a student's program? An IEP team member can use "third party" or facilitative skills to help the team address and meaningfully resolve differences even when she or he is not formally designated as the meeting facilitator. In this session we will explain how to do that, and how we in Iowa train team members to think and act like third parties through a program we call RESPECT.
