We have pointed out ad nauseam here at the Daily Dawg how important the evaluation process is in serving students with disabilities.  Every decision made by the ARD Committee about eligibility, IEP content, and placement should be based on evaluation data.   This is as true during the pandemic as it was before.  Next week our firm is offering a webinar on this important topic:

IMPORTANT LESSONS LEARNED IN 2020 ABOUT SPECIAL EDUCATION EVALUATIONS

This will be a great opportunity for directors, diagnosticians, LSSPs, speech therapists and other service providers to take home some practical pointers about the entire evaluation process, including notice and consent requirements, response to IEE requests, timelines and other day-to-day issues.  The webinar will also address evaluations of students for dyslexia and for related services.  The whole enchilada!

The seminar will be conducted by two of our best: Jan Watson and Jennifer Carroll, both of whom had extensive experience as educators in Texas before going to law school. That enables Jan and Jennifer to apply “lessons learned” from the court cases to practical situations in the school. 

The webinar is a week from today: February 17 at 10:00. Sign up at info@wabsa.com.
