This training is taught by the parent of a child who is Deaf. The presenter will share information about parent’s rights in today’s education system and how to advocate appropriately for needed services. Parents will leave the session better prepared to participate in their child’s IEP meeting as an active team member. Professionals who attend this training will learn about parent’s rights and gain insight into the parent perspective.
