Next Meeting
Tuesday, November 24, 2009
Resource Center
7-8:30 p.m.

Ever have Questions regarding IEP process/compliance? What accommodations should I be requesting for my child? Why didn't they let me know about those options sooner? Why do I have to find things out so late? Why is the other student getting breaks and mine isn't? These and perhaps your questions will be answered by our unique panel discussion of seasoned special needs parents, teachers and staff of LWSD. This meeting is dedicated to sharing resources on how to navigate the many channels of communication between parents and staff with the goal of ensuring your student is receiving fair and appropriate education at LWSD. This will open the door to new understandings and improve your stress. Learn from those that have been through many issues and reached positive resolution. If there is a topic you'd like covered during this panel, please send your comments to Lys at fabulys@msn.com  Don't miss this engaging conversation!
