Do you know what services are available to your student with an IEP or a 504 plan? Do you know how to get support for a student who could qualify for special services but has not yet been assessed?
In this informative episode, special education experts Sarah Fawley and Melissa Bentley join your hosts Donna Delisle and Katie LaPira to share about special education support services.
Melissa shares a brief history of the laws that led to where we are today with IEPs and 504 plans for students, and Melissa talks about ways that students who qualify for services can be identified and assessed for services. Sarah shares about what special education services can look like for students in middle and high school as they plan for their future and what partnerships can support students on that journey.
Sarah and Melissa share about how community partners such as the Infant Toddler Connection, Massanutten Technical Center, the Community Services Board, DARS (Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services), and VAIL (the Valley Association for Independent Living) help students and families navigate individual challenges and needs.
Listen in to hear about ways that you can get support for the child in your life.
