FOR PARENTS
Who knows your child best? You do!
Who is your child’s biggest and most important advocate? You are!

Parents need to be informed decision-makers to advocate for the best educational placement for their child. Find out why research has shown students with disabilities should be educated with their typically developing peers. As members of the IEP team, parents play a key role in the education planning process. Our dynamic team of speakers will explain what inclusion can look like in your child’s school, and how to work with educators to fulfill your vision of your child’s future.

FOR EDUCATORS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS
Who wants all their students to achieve the most they can? You do! 
Can teaching a diverse group of learners be challenging and time-consuming? Sometimes!

If you’re fortunate enough to have a student with special needs in your classroom, you may be struggling with how to keep them included and engaged in your lessons. Students with disabilities do not need to engage in the curriculum in the same way that students without disabilities do, but no one has time to plan separate lessons! You will love to learn from these renowned speakers about planning processes and teaching strategies that help all students reach their maximum potential, while accessing the same material.
