Spring into Action: Finding Your Voice in this PPT Season

Editor's Note: An Individual Education Plan (IEP) is a written educational plan for a child with disabilities that is developed and implemented with the help of a Planning and Placement Team (PPT). Knowing how to navigate the "special education" maze can be confusing. This workshop is designed to help parents with that process.
