Special Education Workshop for Parents May 20

The Medford Parent Advisory Council for Special Education and the Arlington Special Education Parent Advisory Council are co-sponsoring a “Basic Rights in Special Education” workshop.

The workshop is taking place on Thursday, May 20 at 6:30PM at the Brooks Elementary School, located at 388 High Street, Medford.

This workshop provides families with an introduction to their rights and responsibilities under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Massachusetts Special Education Law and No Child Left Behind (NCLB). It is designed to help parents learn how to be effective partners with their child’s school, to decide the child’s eligibility for special education, and to plan, make decisions and monitor their child’s progress in school.

This event will feature a speaker from the Federation for Children with Special Needs.
