Basic Trainings (Prerequisite to
Advanced Training)
Session 1:
This two hour session will cover an overview
of history of disability laws including the Individuals with
Disabilities Act (IDEA), section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act, and the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA). In addition, we
look at the roles a parent/guardian plays in
assuring the rights for their children, the
resources that can help their children, and
the roles of the school for children with
special needs.
Session 2:
This two hour session will look at the step-by-step process of developing an appropriate
Individualized Education Program (IEP). It
will also include information and tools for
dispute resolution and problem solving and
working effectively with the ARC team.
Topical Trainings
Special guests
are invited to speak on specific topics of
interest that relate to education and the IDEA
process. Such topics may include transition,
inclusion, behavioral and emotional issues,
medications or any other issue our parents
bring to our attention. Please feel free to
let us know what you would like to learn more
about
via email.
Advanced
Trainings
Our Advanced
Trainings are in depth, hands-on lessons of
the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA),
the Individual Education Program (IEP)
process, and the art of negotiation and
collaboration within the ARC team.
