Plateau Pediatrics is hosting STEP (Support and Training for Exceptional Parents) on Saturday 10/1/11. STEP's mission is to empower parents to become effective partners with professionals in planning appropriate educational programs for their children. To that end they will be providing a 3 hour workshop on Special Education Basic Rights.
This workshop is designed for parents of children in special education or that might need special education services. Topics will include developing a working knowledge of special education laws, your role in the development of an appropriate education program (IEP) and how to be an effective partner with the school team in the process.
The workshop will take place from 12 noon to 3pm in the Plateau Pediatrics lobby. Childcare will be available for those who need it.
If you are interested in attending this workshop please respond to hassler@plateaupediatrics.com or contact Candace at -931-707-8700 ext: 7233. We need a count of who will be participating (STEP is bringing materials and handouts) as well as how many children will be present. If you know anyone else who would be interested in attending, feel free to pass this information along to them.
