Beginning With The End In Mind
PEAL Three Part Mini Series

Part 1 - Developing a Strong IEP
This session will explore the parent’s role in the IEP process.  Parents, you will learn the basics of your child’s right to special education services, how the process of developing special education plans works, and your role in developing an IEP that is responsive to your goals for your child.  Participants will have the opportunity to begin to translate your dreams for your child into concrete elements that can be incorporated into your child’s IEP.

Part 2 - Working Effectively with Your School Team
How can I work with my school district to develop education services for my child that are based on high expectations to prepare my child for a productive life?  How can we build a school team committed to classrooms where all students participate in learning? Participants will discover strategies for parents and educators to build collaborative and constructive school teams committed to classrooms that welcome and support high expectations for all learners.

Part 3 - IEP Clinic
Have a question about your child’s IEP or Evaluation Report?  Would you like to have the opportunity to discuss your child’s services and supports?  Bring your questions, documents and good ideas to the IEP Clinic where our Parent Advisors can talk with you and be that “other set of eyes” to look over your child’s records.  Let’s talk about positive solutions and creative ideas to insure that your dreams and hopes for the future are addressed in your educational program today.
