May 22nd – Dispute Resolution in Virginia – Even when we do our best to collaborate and reach an agreement, things don’t always go right at IEP meetings or other special education proceedings. That is why the law makes dispute resolution options available to families (and to schools). While this process can be stressful, information is power; the more you know, the more prepared you will be if things don’t go as planned. This presentation will describe dispute resolution options, how they work, and when it may be best to use a specific option. We will also guide on you on how to prepare when entering into a dispute resolution process. Being knowledgeable will help you make the best decisions for your child as you work to ensure that his or her rights are protected.

Each workshop will start at 6:30 pm and will last approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
