SUMMARY:Tool Time Tuesday: Understanding Manifestation Determination Reviews (MDRs)
DESCRIPTION:This brief session will provide parents and caregivers with a clear understanding of what a Manifestation Determination Review (MDR) is, when it is required, and how it protects students with disabilities during disciplinary actions. Participants will learn how to prepare for an MDR meeting, including what information to review, who to invite, and how to document connections between a child’s disability and the behavior in question.\nThe session will also cover key questions parents can ask during the MDR meeting to ensure the team fully considers the child’s disability, the implementation of the IEP or BIP, and whether the behavior constitutes a pattern. Finally, participants will learn what steps to take after the meeting, including requesting documentation, understanding outcomes, and knowing their options if they disagree with the decision.\nThis session is designed to empower families to confidently advocate for their child and actively participate in a fair and thorough MDR process.\nPresented by: Mandy Sonnenberg, ECAC Assistant Director of Programs\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER ( https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/4517691150931/WN__Jnpcq2cR--OUhhzbkKqCA )\n
