The article discusses how Massachusetts has redone its special education planning form for the first time in 20 years. The new form aims to improve communication between families and educators such as teachers, increase the focus on student outcomes, and streamline the special education process.

The revamped form is also opening up opportunities for the students during the IEP meeting to give feedback on his or her needs.

As a kid, I can remember not having much say, but to ask questions during my IEP meeting, thou the teachers and my mother were nice to me during the meetings. It was all about the educator and parents' feedback only, which made me feel more under pressure with very little power in the direction in getting accommodations, could possibly help me. I had no choice but to go along with the flow.

Conclusion:
The article highlights the importance of improving special education services and accommodating students' unique needs of all types, as well as the challenges that come with the input of implementing these changes. It also mentions the positive strong impact the new form is expected to have on both educators, such as teacher and families, and how it may serve as a model for other states.
Overall, the article provides an informative and positive outlook on the changes being made to special education.
