LifeLine Inc. is sponsoring an introductory parents’ workshop on the topic of special education on Tuesday in Fort Oglethorpe, Ga.
The parent-training workshop, Basic Special Education Rights, will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. at LifeLine’s office in the Center for Hope, 500 North Thomas Road, behind Hutcheson Medical Center.
The workshop is designed to help parents become advocates to improve education results for their children with disabilities. It will cover a working knowledge of special education laws, including the role of the parent in the development of an appropriate Individual Education Program or an Individual Family Service Plan. Eligibility, team members, timelines, goal development and planning for meetings will also be discussed.
