Two guests speakers who will be reviewing tools that parents can add to their toolboxes to help their children with IEPs.
These professionals will offer strategies and tools that parents can use to support their children's behavioral needs effectively. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain new perspectives and enhance your understanding of behavioral supports.
This meeting is not just about learning; it's also a chance to connect with other parents. We encourage you to invite a friend who is also a parent of a student with an IEP. Together, we can create a supportive network, share experiences, and learn from one another.
