[Nfbv-announce] NFBV IEP Seminar

[Mark W. Roane]

One of the most effective ways for us to work with parents of blind children in Virginia is to help them get the best education they can get and the services needed to accomplish that are set forth in the Individualized Education Plan document.  Join us Saturday, November 21, 2015 at The Virginia Rehabilitation Center for the Blind and Vision Impaired (VRCBVI) located at 401 Azalea Avenue, Richmond, VA  23227 from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. to learn how to advocate for families in their IEP meetings.  You will learn IEP jargon, how to spot good and bad goals, what a reading assessment is, the purpose of a functional visual assessment, components of an IEP for a student who is a dual learner (learning large print and Braille), what services the school district must provide and accommodations for students with multiple disabilities.  A variety of materials will be provided in print, Braille or electronically (indicate your preference on the registration form).  There will be time for questions.  

 

Our NFBV treasurer, Mark Roane, is collecting the registration forms and seminar registration fee; for seminar specific questions, contact Sandy Halverson at 703-400-6890.  We will not be providing child care for this seminar.  The registration fee of $30 per person or $50 per couple includes a box lunch.



We hope to see many of you there.
