At PASEN, we utilize the Spiral Curriculum approach to teach Special Education advocacy to parents of children with exceptional needs. This method involves repeatedly presenting fundamental concepts while gradually increasing the complexity of lessons. By revisiting topics, parents gain a deeper understanding and build a strong foundation in advocating for their child's education.

We chose the Spiral Curriculum for several reasons. First, the complexity of Special Education can be overwhelming for parents, and traditional linear approaches may not effectively support long-term learning. Through spiraling, parents have the opportunity to absorb information in a structured manner, ensuring retention and application in real-world situations.

Next, parents may encounter various challenges in the advocacy process. By revisiting key concepts at different levels, they develop a better grasp of their child's rights and educational needs. This empowers them to navigate complex situations confidently and make informed decisions throughout their child's education journey.

Finally, the Spiral Curriculum aligns perfectly with our belief in continuous learning. Parent advocacy for children with exceptional needs is an ongoing process that requires consistent engagement and deep understanding. By using this approach, we promote a lifelong learning mindset among parents, ensuring they remain well-equipped advocates for their children.

At PASEN, we are dedicated to providing parents with the knowledge and tools they need to become effective advocates. With the Spiral Curriculum, we create a supportive and comprehensive learning environment, enabling parents to champion their child's educational rights and ensure a successful learning experience.
