Webinar – “Fall Into the IEPs: Four-Part Family Lunch and Learn Series” Session 3

A free, four-part webinar series to help families better understand their child’s IEP and participate confidently in the special education process

Family Matters Parent Training and Information Center (FMPTIC) will host “Fall Into the IEPs: Four-Part Family Lunch and Learn Series.” Sessions will take place every other Thursday from Sept. 24 through Nov. 5 from 12 to 1 p.m.

“Session 3: Take Your Seat at the IEP Table: Preparing for an IEP (Individualized Education Program) Meeting” will be on Oct. 22.

Through four practical, family-friendly sessions, participants will gain an understanding of their child’s IEP and be able to participate confidently in the special education process. Each session will provide help for understanding, monitoring, preparing for, and addressing concerns about their child’s IEP.

Families are important members of the IEP team. Preparation can help build confidence and effective communication.

This session will walk families through practical steps they can take before an IEP meeting, including:

• Organizing concerns
• Reviewing educational data and progress
• Identifying priorities
• Preparing questions

Families will learn strategies for sharing their perspective, asking for clarification, and arriving at the meeting prepared to be an active participant in decisions about their child’s education.

See the “Fall Into the IEPs: Four-Part Family Lunch and Learn Series” event page for more details.

Register for “Fall Into the IEPs: Four-Part Family Lunch and Learn Series” on Zoom.

The series will wrap up with “Session 4: From Concerns to Action: Working With Your Child’s IEP Team” on Nov. 5 from 12 to 1 p.m.
