Hello fellow Federationists,<br class="">
The National Organization of Parents of Blind Children (NOPBC) is pleased
to offer a workshop on IEP advocacy at this year’s National Convention!
Of course this workshop will provide great information to parents, but it
is also meant for any Federation member who is interested in advocating
at IEP meetings. President Riccobono asked the NOPBC to offer this
training because we need more members around the country who can help
families through the IEP process. So please consider attending this
training, which will be provided by expert IEP advocate and president of
the National Federation of the Blind of Maryland, Sharon Maneki.<br class="">
<b class=""> <br class="">
Sunday, July 3, 8:30 – 9:45 pm Basic IEP Advocacy Training <br class="">
</b>Suwannee 18, Level 2 <br class="">
For NFB members and families who wish to help other families. Learn to
advocate effectively at IEP meetings. How do you ask for things and get
results? How do you stay calm?<br class="">
<br class="">
Please feel free to contact Melissa Riccobono at<br class="">
<a href="mailto:melissa@riccobono.us" class="">melissa@riccobono.us</a><br class="">
with any questions about this meeting.<br class="">
See you in Orlando!<br class="">
