Parent Involvement

Parents/Guardians with a child/children between the ages of 3 – 5 who are receiving special education services in a preschool program, are invited to participate in either one or both Focus Groups. These group discussions will focus on gathering information that pertains to parental understanding of the Least Restrictive Environment [LRE) and Meaningful Parent Involvement in the preschool setting. These focus groups will be used to identify and collect data from you to develop recommendations, which we will review with you at the 2nd focus group meeting later this spring, prior to sending the findings to the Office of Early Learning and School Readiness (OEL & SR)

For Further Information and to Register, please call either:
