Virtual In-Service Training: Programs to Help Your Struggling Child Succeed in School by Cami Bergman, PTI Nebraska : NFAPA Calendar : News & Publications : Nebraska Foster and Adoptive Parent Association

This training covers what options caretakers have when
their child is struggling in school. Caretakers will learn
about both regular and special education options including
the Student Assistance Team (SAT) process, 504
Accommodation Plans, and Individualized Education
Programs (IEPs). Children can have struggles in different
areas of need such as academic/learning, behaviors,
socio-emotional, communication, and more. Whatever
your child’s educational needs are, caretakers can work
with their schools to address their child’s challenges and
help their child succeed in school. This training will help
caretakers learn how to advocate effectively and fully
participate in their child’s meetings
