Workshop: Special Education Law and Advocacy
Parents strive to be the best advocates they can for their child, but understanding the child’s rights under the ever-changing laws and regulations in special education can be challenging. Parents and professionals are invited to participate in a comprehensive workshop designed to familiarize participants with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and how to secure appropriate special education and related services. Topics to be covered include:
- Special Education Laws and Regulations: an overview of IDEA, FAPE, LRE and IEP;
- The IEP Process: learn how to create a comprehensive education plan and identify appropriate and meaningful goals;
- Advocacy Techniques: discover successful negotiation, preparation and organization strategies, and ways to handle conflicts with your school district;
- Due Process and Pendency Proceedings: learn about the procedure of appealing an inappropriate placement and what rights your child has during pendency;
- Assessment and Evaluations: understand the different evaluation procedures, discover which tests are meaningful and why, and how they become critical to sustaining burdens of proving appropriateness;
- Additional Legal Considerations: learn about special areas such as estate and financial planning, guardianships and supplemental needs trusts.
- Mock CSE Meeting: participants will be given the opportunity to take part in a staged CSE meeting to learn effective techniques and ways to avoid common pitfalls.
