This workshop is the first part of a two-part series. The second session builds on the previous one, so attending both is encouraged. Be sure to register for Part II at http://bit.ly/2s3GF8W

Parents are encouraged to participate in their child's IEP meeting, but how do you prepare?

In this first session, we will help you:

• Understand what is in your child's IEP,
• Know if the IEP is "working " for your child, and
• Plan for the upcoming meeting.

Next session, participants are encouraged to bring their child's IEP and practice (in a group setting):

• Reading the IEP,
• Planning your questions for the IEP team, and
• Creating your "agenda" for the meeting.

Each family will receive a gas card.

Adults and youth ages 14-21 who have disabilities only please; childcare not provided.

This workshop is funded by the US Department of Education, Office of Special Education Services (OSEP).
