SUMMARY:Virtual: Bring Your IEP and Other School Questions
DESCRIPTION:This hour is open for any family member to drop in for all or some of the time to ask questions or get feedback about IEP issues and other school situations. We ask anyone who stops by to respect the confidentiality of the group and not share anything discussed in the group outside of the group. \nDoes your school ever call and ask you to come pick up your child who has an IEP because your child is upset? \nHas the school told you to take your child for an evaluation and not bring them back to school until you get an evaluation? \nDo you ever wonder if your child needs an IEP? Does your child have an IEP and you wonder whether or not it is working? \nIf you said yes to any of these questions\, or you have other questions about things going on in your child’s school\, then come join us. \nRegister here >>
