  • Understanding Your Child's IEP Workshop January 14, 2026  12:00 pm - 1:00 pm Zoom

    Parent Empowerment Program Workshop

    Do you know how to read your Child's Individualized Education Plan (IEP)? 

    UNDERSTANDING YOUR CHILD’S IEP
    In this workshop, families of students with disabilities will walk through the IEP step by step with a certified special education teacher and advocate, translating special education terms into plain language so parents and guardians can confidently participate in their child’s education plan.
    We will discuss the individual sections of an IEP and how goals, services, and progress monitoring work throughout the school year.
