…then you must understand your parental rights first. Tuesday, February 10, 2015,  CASA in partnership with Project Graduation is offering parents of special needs children an opportunity to be informed about special education law that will help parents advocate with greater success.  The session will also give parents an opportunity to ask questions, listen to common situations that parents face at school and how to resolve those circumstances, more effectively.

Why should parents attend the workshop?  Steve Ashman, Director of Court Appointed Special Advocates cites, “parents should be empowered to advocate and to have the same expectations of the adults involved as those adults have of the child and the parent .”  Stanislaus Office of Education adds, “we believe that parents and professionals who understand the process are better able to collaborate effectively to develop supports and services that enable children with disabilities to succeed.”
