Objectives:
- To understand the IEP process and how to participate more effectively
- To become familiar with special education laws
- To learn how to prepare for an IEP meeting
- To understand how to write effective IEP goals
- To review accommodations and modifications for students
- To learn what to do when parents do not agree with the IEP team
