Event description from the Shefa School website:
American law guarantees that every child receive a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). But what happens when the local school district fails to meet this basic obligation, which happens all too often? Parents need to know how to advocate for their child and when to bring in educational advocates and lawyers to help them navigate the messy and confusing process.
Our three esteemed panelists are accomplished educational attorneys who will explain the IEP/CSE process and describe how parents can seek reimbursement for an independent special education school as well as secure transportation and other important resources that many students are entitled to. Please join us to learn the basics of what you need to know as a parent or educator and when to seek the help of a professional to make sure your child receives the education they need and deserve.
