This module will explore the criteria for qualifying for these specialized, tailored educational services. Participants will learn about the various services involved, such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, and special resource room assistance, as well as how a child’s progress is monitored and annual goals are set. This presentation is designed to help participants understand the comprehensive scope of an IEP and how it supports the educational development of children with disabilities. https://www.facebook.com/popinfl

Alternative Dispute Resolution in Special Education (ADR)

Post author By fndusastage
Post date June 28, 2024

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.

This presentation will identify these documents, what information should be included in them, and review sample options.

IEP Dirigido por Estudiantes

Post author By Jasmine Garcia
Post date May 2, 2024

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.
