Tips on Special Education Advocacy During COVID-19
August 19, 2020 @ 5:30 am – 6:30 am
Please join our Special Education Advocates, Karen Lynch and Jennifer O’Neill for our August 19, 2020 Special Education workshop on Tips on Special Education Advocacy During COVID-19.
We are aware that students with disabilities and their respective families or caregivers are under immense stress as they attempt to navigate and address the impact of the extended school closures, remote learning and proposed hybrid learning models for the upcoming school year.
Many parents and caregivers are uncertain and worried about what will happen with their children when school resumes in September. Whether education access is by via a remote or hybrid model, as parents we know that our children with disabilities thrive on routine and do best in structured environments, both of which have been and will be disrupted during these times.
The Special Education Advocates at TRI are here to offer support and guidance on ways that will help parents/caregivers problem solve, implement ways to support remote learning; and how to work with your child’s educational team to address concerns and develop recommendations to support learning remotely or in a hybrid environment when school reopens in the fall.
