Description

Well before he started Kindergarten, Shanice knew her son's education would require a non-traditional approach. She independently researched best practices and developed working relationships with all his teachers; she kept meticulous records and worked with him in innovative academic programs over the summer. Even with all her time and effort, her son made minimal progress and the IEP team consistently denied Shanice's requests for increased supports. Over THREE YEARS of little to no growth, Shanice quietly gathered tools and knowledge to be able to prove that her child's right to a free and appropriate education outweighed the "let's wait and see" mentality: because of her own advocacy Shanice's son was finally placed in a school setting that successfully put that non-traditional approach in place. Join us as she shares her empowering story and her tips and tricks for navigating the IEP process to maximize a child's educational needs. Opportunities for consultation will be available for free by Beacon Education Solutions' special education advocates.
