with Disabilities Under the

New Special Education Code

Thursday, February 15, 2007 - 6:30 - 9:30 P.M.

" Advocating for your Child with Disabilities Under the

New Special Education Code " by Renay Zamloot, Education Advocate:

The recent legislative changes on the federal and state levels have created

more challenges

and obstacles to effective parental participation in the IEP Process. This

workshop will

provide parents with tools and strategies to enable them to become informed

and active members of their IEP Teams. Parents will gain a better

understanding of some of the key changes to the Special Education Code,

learn the art of effective communication - both

verbal and written and understand the importance of keeping accurate and

organized

records. Ms. Zamloot will guide you through an often confusing and

difficult process using

clear examples and interesting anecdotes to enhance your understanding.

Ms. Zamloot is NOT an attorney and her ideas should NOT be construed as

legal advice.
