Please attend a short presentation with our AI presenter on Wednesday, June 17th, at 1 p.m. EST about participating in virtual meetings.
In some situations, it may be impossible for participants to attend special education meetings in person. In those cases, technology allows participation virtually via the Internet or telephone. Many types of meetings, including IEP meetings, can be conducted virtually.
Attend an insightful presentation by our AI presenter on “Substitute Decision-Making to Supported Decision-Making” on Wednesday, June 12th at 1 PM EST. When individuals are deemed legally incapacitated, they lose their right to equal recognition before the law and their ability to protect and enjoy other fundamental human rights. Guardians and tutors entrusted with acting on behalf of persons with disabilities sometimes fail to prioritize the best interests of those they represent. In more severe cases, they may abuse their authority, leading to violations of the rights of these individuals. https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=fnd%20popin
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.
Please join us on May 22nd at 6 PM (EST) as we present an AI version of our webinar, “Alternative Dispute Resolution in Special Education”.
Sometimes parents disagree with the school district about something related to their child and special education. When you disagree or feel that the school is not meeting its legal obligations, there are several ways for parents to resolve these disagreements.
It is usually best for everyone involved to work out differences at the lowest possible level with the least amount of conflict. This presentation has information about:
1. Informal ways to resolve differences.
2. Formal options offered by the State.
3. Preparing and communicating your concerns.

This presentation will explain how to set expectations for the meeting and develop a meeting agenda and goals to help facilitate a productive meeting.
Please join us at 1 p.m. EST an our AI presenter will explain assistive technology.
