Overview

ADVOCACY ROUNDTABLE WEBINAR:
Your local school district is obligated to meet the legal requirements mandated under IDEA to provide your child with the supports and services listed in the IEP.

Topics include:

  • What can we do to prepare our kids to transition back to the brick and mortar school building?
  • How can we be prepared for the next time we are faced with school closure?
  • What steps can we take to determine whether our child has regressed during the pandemic?
  • How can we hold our LEA accountable to provide compensatory services for March – June 2020?
  • What did we learn while our kids were receiving their education virtually from home?

Hiring an advocate or attorney may, at some point, be something you need to consider. An advocate can be part of your support team at a lower cost while an attorney helps if you need to review the law or maybe are not satisfied with the services your district is offering.

This session discusses when and where an advocate or attorney can be helpful.

The Individualized Education Program (IEP) is the key document, roadmap, etc. for a child securing special education services.

Rich and I talk about the IEP and what important aspects you should know and understand as a parent or caregiver.

I don’t know about you, but the thought of hiring a lawyer for any dispute makes me go into a near panic. Right away I start to think about just how much it is going to cost? This is especially true for parents like us who have a child with Special Needs. Is it worth the cost to hire an attorney to advocate for better or additional services for your child? Would it simply be better to take those costs and use them for services or therapies out of pocket?
