As IEP season arises we will be hosting a webinar all about IEPs and provide you with important information for your upcoming IEP meeting.

Your child's IEP is one of the most important documents related to their education as a student with special needs. It provides an overview of their present levels of performance, goals, related service mandates, recommended class size, academic levels, and so much more. This webinar will focus on reading and understanding your child's IEP. We know that IEPs can be unncessarily confusing to parents and advocates of children with special needs, and so we want to provide you with our tips and tricks.
