Lynn with Family Network on Disabilities will join us to share information on alternatives to Dispute Resolution. Meet parents on a similar journey!
Tag: IEP
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:
- Informal methods to resolve differences.
- Formal options are provided by the State.
- Preparing and effectively communicating concerns.
Workshop Summary
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.
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.
Los estudiantes son a menudo sus mejores defensores. No en vano, con frecuencia son ellos los que mejor saben lo que necesitan y quieren. Esta presentación compartirá estrategias para ayudar a los estudiantes a presentar y asumir más responsabilidad durante la mayor parte del proceso. Un IEP dirigido por un estudiante es un IEP en el que el estudiante con una discapacidad participó en la redacción y creación de cualquier parte del IEP y/o desempeñó un papel de liderazgo durante la reunión del IEP real.
El IEP de transición es la parte más importante cuando se trata de ayudar a los jóvenes con discapacidades a aprender cómo hacer una transición exitosa de la escuela secundaria a oportunidades posteriores a la secundaria. Este taller ayuda a enseñar a todos exactamente cómo aprovechar al máximo el TIEP y cómo trabajar mejor con jóvenes con discapacidades para asegurarse de que tengan las herramientas y la información para cumplir con sus objetivos después de la secundaria.
