PA Parent Alliance Offers IEP Bootcamp
You’re invited to sign up for the Parent Alliance’s IEP Bootcamp! It doesn’t matter if you’re considering asking for an IEP for your child or if you’ve been to more meetings than you can count — you will learn something new.
Each morning, for 21 days, you’ll receive information and tips about one section of the IEP to help create a plan day-by-day for reviewing, evaluating, and improving your child’s IEP. With a special focus on their behavior and emotional needs, you’ll be well prepared for every meeting.
Here is a link to sign up. If you have any questions, please contact RCPA Policy Director Jim Sharp.
