Parents Role in Special Education

Join ECAC’s Parent Educators for an informative presentation designed to help parents understand their rights and roles in the IEP process. Participants will learn how to prepare for and participate in meetings, how to understand and ask questions, and how to recognize the different roles of parents and school staff. We will also discuss the impact of Covid-19 on IEP implementation and student progress.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:
• List a variety of roles that Parents play in the IEP Process
• Summarize schools’ obligations to ensure Parent Participation
• Identify areas on the IEP specifically for Parent input
• Locate resources to support Parents of students with IEPs
