Can you make that difference?

• Help children when no parent can be located or when juvenile court has specifically limited the right of a parent or guardian to make educational decisions.

• Learn how to represent exceptional needs children in identification, assessment, instructional placement, reviewing and revising individual education programs, and in other matters relating to a free appropriate education.

• Orientation and Training will be provided to individuals or interested groups.
