Being an Effective Advocate for Your Child

Local stakeholders are joining together to offer three dynamic parent empowerment workshops for parents, grandparents, and caregivers.

About this event

Participants will be able to:

Define advocacy, identify the power brokers (stakeholders) in a child’s education, understand the child’s exceptionality, including his/her IEP/504 (i.e. accommodations), build relationships with teachers, school administration, and the community at large. Communicate in written and oral expression of child’s needs, organize record-keeping of child’s work, and create a student profile of the child’s weaknesses, strengths, preferred learning styles, best learning strategies, likes, dislikes, and incentives.
