    The Nuts and Bolts of the IEP Plan - Webinar


    February 15, 2018

    This workshop teaches parents how to ensure that their child has a well-constructed IEP, by deconstructing an IEP and talking about each of its individual parts. 

    A well-constructed IEP is one that is clearly and unambiguously written, giving school personnel a clear picture of the child, the skills that need to be focused on, and the support and services the child needs to be successful.  It also gives parents the opportunity to have maximum transparency into their child's education and puts parents in a position to challenge the IEP team if their child fails to make meaningful academic progress.

    Parenting teenagers whether in foster care or not can be one of the hardiest and most important jobs a parent will ever have especially since the inception of social media. Social media has changed the way that parents communicate with their teens and the way that teens communicate with the world.  Social media has also created a heightened level of safety and privacy concerns.  Understanding how to effectively communicate with your teen through the lens of social media will allow foster parents to meet their teen right where they are.  This training will inform foster parents about the benefits and the detriments that teens and parents may face when it comes to social media.
