A Parent’s Role in the Special Education Process
Presenters: Carole Boccumini, Esq. & Monica Mandell, LMSW Since special education services must be tailored for each child, the law can’t simply list services. Instead, it establishes a process for developing an individualized education program. Learn about the special education process and most importantly, the critical contributions that parents can make. |
Promoting Dignity and Respect for All Students
Presenter: Edith Rosenbaum, Esq. Bullying in schools has been widely recognized as a barrier to learning. In July 2012 New York State adopted the Dignity Act, an anti-bullying law that is designed to protect school children from bullying, discrimination and harassment. How will this new law work to protect your child? What actions must your child’s school take to protect your child from being bullied? We will examine the effects of bullying and how the Dignity Act aims to prevent bullying. |
