Limited Capacity seats available
For too long, parents have been intimidated by Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meetings. Therefore, parents do not always get to fully advocate for their children's needs. As parents of students with IEPs, educators of and advocates for children with significant disabilities; the presenters have been personally challenged to ensure their own effective parent participation in IEP meetings. Presenters will provide advance preparation strategies to help families assume an active role in the IEP discussion. Participants will use strategies in role play and other interactive activities to develop leadership skills for future meetings.

Learning Objectives: 

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
a. Articulate goals they have for their student’s education and/or transition
b. Discuss strategies to address goals in multiple settings
c. Effectively use language to demonstrate their understanding
d. Direct conversation to address their questions or points of concern
