Where should the next PLSP be held?

[Guest guest]

Dear Advocates,

The Georgia Advocacy Office in the process of planning for

the ninth Parent Leadership Support Project in Fall 2009. The Parent Leadership

Support Project (PLSP) is a four-month training program

coordinated by the Georgia Advocacy Office. The Project consists of weekly

presentations given by leading educational and legal experts. GAO is committed

to assist parents of children with disabilities to master the information and

skills necessary to secure education opportunities to which all children are

entitled. Upon completion of this intensive training, participants will be able

to better advocate for their own children, as well as for other children with

disabilities across the State.

We are currently inviting interested parties to fill out our

interest survey that is attached and is located at the bottom of this

email. One way to convince the GAO to hold a Parent Leadership Support

Project in your community is to have many, MANY people send us the interest

survey from your community. The commitment from your neighbors makes

it more likely that we can use your community to host a series of

classes.

Please forward this email to your distribution list

and do not hesitate to contact the GAO for information about this project- 404

885- 1234. The web version of this form is located at: http://thegao.org./training.htm
