Featured Sessions:
During this presentation, we will discuss critical components of IEPs-such as goals, services, transition plans, and more-and how to make such components as legally defensible as possible. Presenters will also share changes to legal requirements for IEPs that have occurred in the last year and best-practices for IEP writing in the post-COVID era. We will discuss case law surrounding the importance of properly drafting IEPs as well as tips and strategies to help IEP teams avoid legal pitfalls.
This presentation will give you helpful hints and checklists that will be useful for new and experienced special educators alike. We will review how to respond to records requests, IEE requests, attorneys showing up at IEP meetings unannounced, need for Prior Written Notices as well as other practical advice to assist in the day-to-day activities that special education departments face. Participants will receive practical "cheat sheets" about common occurrences for use in everyday practice.
