Galt Advocacy Special Education Training
* Stay tuned here for upcoming workshops
My desire is to educate parents on how to be their own special education advocate. Often parents come to us with issues that could have been prevented if they only knew how to deal with the special education IEP team.
I liken a parent going into an IEP team meeting like me being required to play chess with a chess champion. I do not understand chess. And, if I was required to play chess with a chess champion who would win? Not me. I would not even know if they make a move that is out of bounds. This is how it is with a parent up against the IEP team at the school district.
The desire of my heart is to have parents be able to somewhat stand on solid ground with the school district.
Come and learn what the professional advocates know. Your child’s IEP (Individualized Education Plan) team meeting will be coming soon.
Be prepared.
Learn to be your child’s advocate with this Special Education Training. This is a one day in-depth training on Special Education Rights and Responsibilities.
Topics will include:
What is FAPE?
What is IDEA?
What are the rules of the game?
I want to educate them on how to read the entire IEP document.
How to evaluate if the goals are actually met.
What services are actually available?
Are there limits on how much a student can receive in speech or other services?
How to read and understand the Psychological Assessments.
