Your listening and memory skills are put to the test when you’re at IEP meetings. Don’t you agree?
In this blog post you’ll discover suggested ways to not only record meetings, but also what to do with the recording once you have it.
I recommend you record the meetings to capture an accurate account of it. But did you know you can also strategically use information gleaned from the recording in positive ways to help your child be more successful? More on that later in the blog post.
In some states (two party state) it’s required to get the other parties’ permission before you can record a conversation. Check and see if this is true for your state. Other states are known as one-party states. In those states, you only need permission of one party (you) to record a conversation.
No matter where you live it’s always courteous to let the school ahead of time (at least 24 – 48 hours) that you plan on recording. Chances are if you’re recording the meeting the school will also want to do so. You want them prepared with their recording device, so there’s not a delay in starting the meeting.
It’s a matter of personal preference as to how you want to record the meeting.
There are a variety ways you can do this:
- Digital recorder
- App for smart phone (e.g. Audio Memos)
- App for tablet (e.g. SoundNote)
- Smart pen (e.g. Livescribe)
In the video above I shared one type of smart pen, the Livescribe pen.
