The Autism Society of Greater Akron would like to thank Clinton Householder, attorney from Community Legal Aid, for sharing his knowledge and experience of education law at Monday night’s webinar, Taking an Active Role in Your Child’s IEP. The IEP/504 Plan process can be extremely intimidating, leaving parents awash in data, assessments and measurable goals. However, parents are, by law, equal partners on their child’s IEP team because they have intimate knowledge of their child’s strengths, struggles and development. WATCH THE WEBINAR
Maggie noted that kindergarten used to exist solely for socialization and play, but today’s kindergarten is the first year of formal education with required core curriculum standards which can influence the next 12 years of a child’s attitude toward school and learning. Frequent, effective communication is key to establishing a parent as the most important advocate for his/her child. WATCH THE WEBINAR
