Training for parents of students receiving special education services

Have emotional/behavioral issues affected your child at school? Do you know when

and how to request a behavioral assessment? Does your child need positive

behavioral interventions and social skills instruction? Join Family Matters

how to request a behavioral assessment; what appropriate, functional behavior
