About this Event
Join us for the next installment of our P.O.W.E.R. Sessions (Parental Opportunities: Workshops, Education & Resources), designed to empower parents and community members with the tools and knowledge to navigate the complexities of special education evaluations. This session will focus on understanding and navigating IEP (Individualized Education Plan) and 504 evaluations, crucial processes for ensuring that your child receives the support they need in school.
Led by Tenisha Thompson, this workshop will provide clear, actionable insights on:
- Understanding Parent Rights: Learn about your rights in the IEP/504 evaluation process and how these rights protect your child’s educational needs.
- Initiating the Evaluation Process: Step-by-step guidance on how to formally request an evaluation from your child’s school.
- Action Steps for Stalled Progress: How to take appropriate steps if your child’s progress seems stalled or isn’t meeting expectations.
- Monitoring and Assessing Outcomes: Learn how to track your child’s progress post-evaluation and stay involved in ongoing assessments.
- Addressing Teacher Knowledge and Concerns: Gain the confidence to engage with teachers and school staff to ensure your child’s needs are being met.
Whether you are new to the IEP/504 process or looking to sharpen your knowledge, this session will provide valuable information to help you advocate effectively for your child.
The event is open to parents, guardians, and community members committed to supporting students with educational needs.
Come prepared to ask questions and engage with fellow attendees. We look forward to seeing you there!
