Lynn with Family Network on Disabilities will join us to share information on alternatives to Dispute Resolution. Meet parents on a similar journey!
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.
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.
