Events

You're invited to a free workshop for parents of children and youth with disabilities and for professionals called IEP Boot Camp! It will be held on Wednesday, September 25, 2019 from 10 AM to 12:00 PM at the Beauregard War Memorial Civic Center, 250 West 7th Street, DeRidder, LA 70634.

IEP Boot Camp Workshop will discuss the process for IEP meetings and how parents can participate in the IEP process to help their child with their educational needs.

- If you can please remember to bring your child's current IEP. You may want to refer to it during this workshop.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) outlines a process for IEP meetings; although IEP services are individualized for each child; the IEP process should be routine and predictable so parents can learn to participate. If your child qualifies for special education, you need Boot Camp! Why? IEP Boot Camp is a place where everybody gets the same basic instruction and information.

You will learn to:
• be a part of developing your child's education program;
• know what services to ask for;
• ask confidently for services your child needs

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this event or how to register.

Thank you for your response. I look forward to seeing you soon!

Sincerely,
