Resolution Meetings are mandated by IDEA 2004 for due process requests by parents unless both parties waive participation in the meeting or if both parties agree to try mediation. when a due process hearing is requested, a dispute already exists and the parties may have difficulty reaching agreement at a resolution meeting. Like in mediation, the presence of a neutral facilitator at the resolution meeting may yield more effective and successful meetings. Resolution Meeting Facilitation is an alternate dispute resolution activity offered by the Office for Dispute Resolution.
