SUMMARY:Let’s Take a Crash Course on Understanding how to Read an IEP - webinar
DESCRIPTION:Please join Namita Modasra\, Education Advocate\, Parent to Parent of NYS\, for this training on Let’s Take a Crash Course on Understanding how to Read an IEP.\nThe Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)\, a federal law\, requires certain information to be included in the IEP but doesn’t specify say how the IEP should look. Because states and local school systems may include additional information\, forms differ from state to state and may vary between school\nsystems within a state. The IEP\, Individualized Education Program\, is a written document that’s developed for each public-school child who is eligible for special education. The IEP is created through a team effort and reviewed at least once a year. This training will teach you how to read the IEP so you can understand what should and can be in the IEP.\nIf you are a Parent\, Grandparent\, Family Member or Guardian\, then this training is for you. \nREGISTER:  https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUucOCrqDwvHdG0cDsS_bfLNMrfGq72eACm

SUMMARY:Preparing to Transition from High School to the Adult World after Graduation - webinar
DESCRIPTION:Please join Tina Beauparlant\, Parent to Parent of NYS\, Regional Manager/ Education Specialist for this wonderful webinar.\nThis training gives parents\, grandparents and guardians\, an understanding of high school transition.\nTransition from high school to young adulthood is a critical stage for all teenagers; for students with disabilities this stage requires extra planning and goal setting. Factors to consider include post-secondary education\, the development of career and vocational skills\, as well as the ability to live independently. The first step in planning for a successful transition is developing the student’s transition plan. A transition plan is required for students enrolled in special education who have an Individualized Education Program (IEP). We will define and describe transition planning and how it can be utilized to maximize your child’s future.\nIf you have questions\, contact: Tina Beauparlant (518) 381-4350. \nREGISTER:  https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2810106957002208854

SUMMARY:Let’s Take a Crash Course on Understanding how to Read an IEP - webinar
DESCRIPTION:Please join Nancy Marmet for this training on Let’s Take a Crash Course on Understanding how to Read an IEP.\nThe Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)\, a federal law\, requires certain information to be included in the IEP but doesn’t specify say how the IEP should look.
