All children qualifying for special education services are required to have an Individualized Education Program (IEP). The IEP specifies the special education and related services necessary to ensure the child a free appropriate public education. The IEP process can be overwhelming for parents due to complex federal laws and regulations. DSAF is hosting an intensive, two-day Wrightslaw training on special education and advocacy.
If you are a parent or guardian of a child receiving special education services, or a professional wanting to better serve kids with disabilities, you don’t want to miss this 2-day training!
Participants will learn about:
- special education statutes and regulations to get answers to their questions
- tests and measurements to measure educational progress
- charting out test scores
- writing SMART IEP goals and objectives
- using No Child Left Behind as a tool to open doors to services
- creating paper trails and writing effective letters
- advocacy strategies to negotiate for appropriate special educational programs
