Alternative Dispute Resolution in Special Education (ADR)

Be our guest with Parent Training Specialist Ms. Glenesha Milner on Monday, July 8th at 1 PM for “Alternative Dispute Resolution.” Sometimes, parents may find themselves at odds with the education professionals on the Eligibility or Individualized Education Plan (IEP) team regarding their child’s special education needs. When disagreements arise, or if you feel the school is not fulfilling its legal obligations, several avenues are available to resolve these issues. It is generally most beneficial for all parties to address and resolve differences at the lowest possible level with minimal conflict. This presentation will cover:

1. Informal methods to resolve differences.
2. Formal options are provided by the State.
3. Preparing and effectively communicating concerns.
