Walk through the IEP

Audience: Parents and guardians of children who receive special education services.

Description:  This presentation is for parents who have questions or concerns about their child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP).  The Arc has an interactive presentation for formal and informal groups called, “Walk through the IEP”.  An advocate with expertise in special education issues can meet with your group and go step by step through the IEP and IEP process and answer specific questions.  Previous participants had these comments on this workshop:  “Very informative”, “The advocate was great!  Thanks for the follow up on previous issues”.  This workshop is free, and The Arc can tailor the material specifically for your group.

Goal: Participants gain a better understanding of the IEP document and components that make up an effective IEP and become more comfortable in their ability to advocate for their child in IEP team meetings.
