Crack the Code: How to Read a Prior Written Notice Like an Advocate

Prior Written Notices (PWNs) are required whenever the school proposes or denies changes to your child’s IEP, but most parents don’t know how to interpret them. In this session, you’ll learn how to decode PWN language, spot red flags, and document your disagreement or consent effectively. You’ll never skim a PWN again because you’ll understand how to use it as advocacy tool.

✅ You'll learn how to:

• Understand the key components and legal weight of a PWN
• Identify vague or misleading language and request clarification
• Use a PWN to build your advocacy timeline and paper trail

🗣️ Client Testimonial:
