"Basic Rights: Denied"
This workshop is being brought to Cape Cod Community College on Saturday April 10, 2010.
This is the only workshop in Massachusetts that will teach you how to handle the most common special education violations committed by public school districts.
One of the greatest obstacles parents and others face when advocating for a child's special education rights is a lack of accurate, usable information. It doesn't have to be that way. Two hours at this workshop will equip you with the power and confidence that comes with knowledge. You'll learn not only what the child's right are but, more importantly, how to recognize when those rights are being violated and what to do about it.
This is the information school district's don't want you to know ...
"The Wachusett Parent to Parent Support Group was the very lucky recipient of SPEDWatch's Basic Rights: Denied workshop. It was just incredible. Fantastic information. Fantastic presentation. Everyone loved it! I urge you to book this workshop for your own groups. You will be very thankful that you did."
