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

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 1: Understanding Your Child’s IEP (Individualized Education Program)” will begin the series on Sept. 24.

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.

An IEP can feel overwhelming when you are unsure what each section means or how the pieces work together.

Families can join Session 1 to better understand major sections of their child’s IEP, including:

• The Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance (PLAAFP)
• Annual goals
• Special education services
• Accommodations
• Least restrictive environment (LRE)

Families will learn what to look for when reviewing the IEP and how each section connects to their child’s individual needs and educational progress.

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