Please join Parent Resource Specialist Sassafrass Mittleman on https://www.facebook.com/ParentSupportNetworkFL on August 27th at 5 PM for “How to Participate in Virtual Meetings”.
In some situations, it may be impossible for participants to attend special education meetings in person. In those cases, technology provides the opportunity to participate virtually via the Internet or telephone. Many types of meetings, including IEP and 504 Plan meetings can be conducted virtually.
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:
Children in school systems with healthcare concerns should have additional documents to support their medical needs. An Individualized Education Plan (IEP) should include an Individual Healthcare Plan (IHP) and an Emergency Healthcare Plan (EHP) for their specific needs while in the school environment. This presentation will identify these documents, what information should be included in them, and review sample options.
Join Parent Training Specialist Glenesha Milner on Monday, June 3rd, at 1 PM EST on Facebook for the continuation of the webinar series, “It’s a Great IDEA: Module #5. The Right of Students with Disabilities to the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE).” LRE is mandated by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). IDEA stipulates that children who receive special education should be educated in the least restrictive environment possible alongside their nondisabled peers. Participants will learn what this means and how students should spend as much time as possible with peers who do not receive special education.
On Monday, June 10th, at 1 PM EST, the series continues with “It’s a Great IDEA: Module #6. The Power of Parent Participation.” One of IDEA’s principles is the right of parents to participate in educational decision-making regarding their child with a disability. In this workshop, participants will learn about the specific requirements IDEA places on school systems to ensure parental participation.
The series will conclude on Monday, June 24th, at 1 PM EST with “It’s a Great IDEA: Module #7. Procedural Safeguards.” IDEA establishes procedural safeguards to help parents and students enforce their rights under federal law. Participants will learn how these safeguards protect parental access to information regarding placement and transition planning, and the procedures in place to resolve disagreements between parents and schools regarding student placement. Please note that this date is two weeks after Module 6.
