Decoding the IEP: Forming a Partnership and Actively Participating in the IEP Process
Saturday, September 13
9:00- 11:00 am
Another school year is beginning and that means at some point you will meet with your school team to develop your child's Individual Education Program (IEP). Having a positive relationship with the school team is critical for your child's success. In this session we will discuss tips for working as partners with your school team and walk through each section of an IEP. As we explore the sections we will discuss key features, the role of evidence based practices and important questions to ask.

Promoting Self- Advocacy through Functional and Social Communication
Saturday, October 11
9:00-11:00 am
Nothing rings more true than when we say, "All behavior is communication." Addressing behavior challenges is not a compliance game. It is a teaching game. Ensuring our children can efficiently get their basic needs met, advocate for themselves, and safely interact with the world is a goal we all share. In this session, we will take a deep dive into specific ways to enhance functional and social communication to promote self-management and advocacy.
