Basic Rights In Special Education: A Workshop for Parents and Professionals will be held Wednesday, Feb. 27, at 6:30 p.m. in the multi-purpose room of the Buker School, 1 School St., Wenham. The Basic Rights workshop provides families and professionals with an introduction to their rights and responsibilities under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Massachusetts Special Education Law and No Child Left Behind (NCLB). It is designed to help parents learn to be effective partners with their child’s school to decide their child’s eligibility for special education, and to plan, make decisions and monitor their child’s progress in school. A presenter from the Federation for Children with Special Needs will conduct this workshop.  Federation workshops are free and open to the public.  You are welcome to attend any workshop in or outside of your immediate community.
