Join us for “Understanding the IEP Process“ — a virtual seminar with Dr. Ellen Long from Millersville University’s Special Education Department.
This seminar’s goal is to better understand the IEP process and comprehend your role as your child’s advocate. All of this can be extremely overwhelming. Having basic knowledge of this process and knowing what you are able to request for your child can be good first steps as you navigate your child’s educational journey. Aaron’s Acres is pleased to have Dr. Long as the presenter for this seminar.
