This bilingual glossary is designed to help families, caregivers, and educators better understand common special education terms, abbreviations, and acronyms. It provides clear explanations of language frequently used during IEP meetings, evaluations, school services, and transition planning, making special education information easier to navigate and understand.
The resource supports stronger communication and collaboration between families and schools by helping parents feel more informed and confident when discussing their child’s educational services and supports. With terms provided in both languages, the glossary is especially helpful for bilingual families seeking accessible and easy-to-understand information about special education processes and terminology.
