Public school districts are compelled to satisfy a myriad of obligations under the federal and state statutes governing the education of disabled students.
These statutes provide parents with substantial rights with which to challenge a placement of a disabled student and enabling them to demand a hearing when the school district and the parents cannot reach an agreement. These hearings are time-consuming and extremely expensive for school districts to defend. This on-demand webinar helps those involved in the education of disabled students to develop placement systems for their special needs students that are likely to avoid placement disputes and time-consuming, expensive hearings. This on-demand webinar is critical for special education directors and providers to assist their school systems in handling such disputes. Learning Objectives: •You will be able to review statutory obligations concerning placement. •You will be able to identify the student's particular needs and the proper placement. •You will be able to describe how to incorporate parents into the placement process.
