Strategies for Successful Advocacy in IEP Meetings
Open to view video.  |  80 minutes
Open to view video.  |  80 minutes The IEP serves as the cornerstone of programming for students with disabilities, guiding their educational journey. However, the annual process of developing the IEP can feel overwhelming for parents. Walking into a meeting where many participants use unfamiliar language can be intimidating, making it difficult for parents to advocate effectively for their child. This presentation explores how parents often with the support of special education advocates and attorneys can ensure their child receives an appropriate education and achieves more successful outcomes.
