The Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) strongly supports parents' rights to be involved in the special education program that their children receive. Assisting parents in understanding the IEP process, the educational jargon, and their role as meaningful IEP team members will pave the way for building and maintaining relationships, and will result in more efficient IEP meetings.
This training will focus on the techniques and procedures to educate parents about IDEA, the assessment process, and the IEP process from the beginning of an initial referral. Participants will gain an appreciation for the benefits parent involvement can bring to the school; be able to recognize the existing models of parent involvement in their own schools; increase knowledge of how to develop a genuine partnership with parents; understand the legal requirements under IDEA; and develop the ability to have collaborative IEP meetings among all stakeholders.
