Special Eduction Workshop for Parents
Do you ever look at your child's IEP and wonder what the heck it all really means and how it helps your kid? But then, you don't even know enough to know which questions to ask and who can answer them? The SEAC has partnered with Great River School to bring the experts from PACER to TCGIS for a workshop to help you understand what all of those abbreviations, percentages, benchmarks and goals in your child's IEP actually mean.
The FREE two-hour workshop will allow you to look at your child's evaluation report and IEP, and see how the two work together to provide services to help your child succeed.
Join us Monday, March 14 from 6:30-8:30pm in the school cafeteria. Bring your child's latest evaluation report and IEP.
Please RSVP here so that we can tell PACER how many will attend. |
