Ethical Considerations EEC 3403 Shane Mardy Case Study #1:The IEP deadline for Gerald is on Monday, and his parents are not free to meet until the following Friday.You've tried contacting them by phone for two weeks and planned to meet on Monday without them.They desired to attend the meeting but had problems with their phone.They are just now calling you on Friday at the end of the day.What should you do?
