Illinois ASPIRE Parent Resources

An important objective of Illinois ASPIRE is to increase the involvement of parents in the educational decision making process. Within each of the data collection/demonstration sites, parents are key members of problem solving teams and are involved in implementation of interventions.

Illinois ASPIRE developed the documents and PowerPoint presentations below as informational resources for parents.
