Have you ever looked at your child's Individualized Education Program (IEP) only to end up scratching your head in confusion?  Whether you are a "seasoned" special education parent or one who is new to "all things" special education, you are invited to join us to gain a better understanding of an IEP.  This workshop will "walk" participants through each section of the IEP and provide information on required content by exploring:

• the IEP as a strategic planning document and process; 
• how the IEP is developed and how each section builds upon the next to guide instruction and learning for the coming year;
• how parents can take an active role in the IEP development process;
• the Committee on Special Education (CSE)...Members? Roles?Responsibilities?; and 
• alphabet soup! (disability and special education related terms and acronyms)
