It is well known to remain legally compliant, school districts must include parents of students with disabilities in all educational programming, especially IEP meetings. Unfortunately, accomplishing meaningful parental participation is often a complex enterprise. In this session, participants will review effective parent-engaging strategies and avoid Due Process missteps.
Participants will be able to:
Demonstrate their understanding of parents' legal rights to meaningful parental participation.
Identify illegal actions of predetermination in IEP writing and placement.
Discuss and discern appropriate strategies for meaningful participation of parents in their students with disabilities' educational programming.
