This Wednesday, March 6, the Devotion Elementary School in Brookline will hold a workshop on basic rights in special education. Designed for parents and professionals, the Basic Rights workshop provides an introduction to their rights and responsibilities under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the Massachusetts Special Education Law and No Child Left Behind.

In this workshop, parents will learn the most effective ways to partner with their child’s school in order to decide their child’s eligibility for special education. Beyond that, parents will learn how to plan and monitor their child’s progress in a special education program with the school.

Elizabeth Bostic of the Federation for Children with Special Needs will be presenting and conducting the workshop at the Devotion School in Brookline. The Federation’s workshops are absolutely free and open to all people. All are welcome to attend any and all workshops, no matter if they are held inside or outside of their immediate community.

The workshop will be held on Wednesday, March 6, at the Devotion School at 345 Harvard Street in Brookline. Please join us from 6:30-8:30PM at the library on the main floor of the school. Call (617)935-2264 or email [email protected] for more information.
