Join us online on Monday, July 21, 2025, for our Family Empowerment Series training "Terminology 101: The Who, What, and How of Special Education."
In this session, we'll break down the who, what, where, when, and why behind common special education terms, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of the landscape.
We will cover important topics such as
- Terms and definitions related to the law (such as IEPs, IFSPs, 504 Plans, FAPE, and LRE),
- Terms and definitions related to the special education team (such as LEA, MDT, DA, and RSPs), and
- Terms and definitions related to types of disabilities (such as SLD, OHI, ID, and SLI).
