Walk Into Your Next ARD Meeting Dangerous.

The Texas Landscape (ARD & TEA)

Texas operates under a unique special education framework. While federal law (IDEA) protects your rights, Texas uses specific terminology like ARD (Admission, Review, and Dismissal) rather than "IEP Team meeting."

Being "dangerous" in an ARD meeting doesn't mean being aggressive—it means being prepared. It means understanding the 11 strategies of the Texas Autism Supplement, knowing the exact timelines for an FIE (Full Individual Evaluation), and knowing how to respectfully but firmly disagree using a 10-day recess.
