Basics of special education rights and procedures, including the least restrictive environment requirement, functional behavioral assessments / behavior intervention plans, and the IEP meeting.

  • Getting and using independent educational evaluations — and what to do when you encounter roadblocks.
  • The rights of students with disabilities who attend charter schools — and tips for parents and guardians considering these schools.
  • Rights and practical options as students transition from high school to life after high school.
  • How to advocate for your child who has experienced abuse, harassment, or mistreatment by school staff or contractors in the Department of Education: how to file a complaint, your right to information and participation about any incident, investigation, or follow-up, and a student’s right to be protected from harm during and after an investigation
  • Your right to language interpretation at school meetings and to translated educational documents, so you can participate in your child’s education.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

This is a general workshop. We will NOT address any individual education matters.
