Special Education Parent Workshop

Presented by: Cammarata, Attorney at Law

“Getting to the “I†in IEPâ€

The Federal Government

mandates in the Individual Education Improvement Act that children with

disabilities who require special education be provided with an Individualized

Education Program. Each school school year is a precious time in your child's

life. It is important to act now to protect his/her future.

While extremely

comprehensive, this workshop is taught in a very basic manner in order to

provide practical information that parents can easily apply to their unique

circumstances.

TOPICS TO BE COVERED

Disabled children are to be

taught in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) among non-disabled peers to

the maximum extent possible. LRE is a right, not a privilege. What must the

school do to meet your child's needs in the LRE?

Understanding the IEP document

and how to write an appropriate IEP for your child.

How can a parent

identify their child's “unique needs†to write an appropriate IEP?

What is the School

District's responsibility in addressing a child's behaviors that interfere with

learning? What does IDEIA and Section 504 provide? Can a disabled child be

disciplined for behaviors related to their disability?

-Suspensions

-Referrals

-Calls from school

-FBAs/Behavior Plans

-Restraint and Seclusion

What protections and procedural

safeguards does IDEIA and Section 504 provide when things go wrong?

A brief “mock†IEP

meeting will take place at the end of the workshop. *Some amazing parent

actors will participate!
