NFB IEP Advocacy Academy Applications are Open

The National Federation of the Blind (NFB) is calling all parents of blind
or low-vision children and other blind adults who are willing to gain and
enhance their knowledge of Individual Education Programs (IEPs) and to
assist families with the future education of blind or low-vision students. 

Parents can easily feel overwhelmed by the IEP process required to establish
special education services for their children. There are simply not enough
knowledgeable IEP advocates. To address the extreme shortage of
knowledgeable advocates for blind and low-vision students across the nation,
the National Federation of the Blind, with support from the National
Organization of Parents of Blind Children (NOPBC), the Lavelle Fund for the
Blind, and the Professional Development Research and Institute on Blindness
(PDRIB), is offering an intensive IEP training opportunity. 

At our IEP Advocacy Academy participants will:

*     Learn to serve as volunteer advocates in preparation for and/or
attendance at IEP meetings for blind or low-vision students.

*     Gain an understanding of education law.

*     Learn how to develop a thorough and robust IEP.

*     Acquire advocacy strategies to empower parents to advocate for
students and families.

*     Assist in and create the strongest possible IEPs for blind students.

*     Learn how to train other advocates in their perspective state.

The IEP Advocacy Academy will take place in person in Baltimore, Maryland at
the National Federation of the Blind, May 30-June 2, 2024. Travel, meals,
and overnight accommodations will be provided for selected applicants.

Apply Today!

Take advantage of this IEP training opportunity. Applications are due March
21, 2024. Learn more and apply now!
