Idaho Federation of Families invites you to a free Zoom Parent Webinar.
When: Mar 19, 2019 10:00 AM Mountain Time (US and Canada)
Topic: 5 Ways To Say No To One-Size Extended School Year Services
Did you know that Extended School Year Services (ESY) need to be individualized?
Would you like to know how to advocate for something different than what the district offers for ESY?
Get prepared for spring IEP meetings when the subject of Extended School Year Services is brought up.
Come find out what the Idaho regulations say about how a student qualifies for ESY. HINT: The IEP team needs to consider more than just if your child loses a lot of their skills over vacation (regression) and if it takes them more than a reasonable amount of time to re-learn those skills (recoupment). There are other factors that also must be considered.
Let’s make sure If your child is eligible for ESY that they get the services and supports they need this summer!
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
