Disability and Special Education from the Parent Perspective.- Repeated Session

Friday September 18, 2026 9:40am - 10:35am EDT

Limited Capacity seats available

Have you, as a teacher, ever wondered why a parent you've shared resources with hasn't done anything with them? Do you want a better understanding of what parents are thinking and experiencing when they walk in to a case conference? This session is to help educators and admins understand things pertaining to disability and special education from the perspective of a parent. As well as the monetary, physical, time, and emotional aspects of raising a child with a disability. The session will allow time for questions and answers.
