Importance: High

Dear Community Partners,

We are reaching out to request your support in sharing an exciting opportunity with the families in your network. The New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED) Office of Special Education, in collaboration with Public Consulting Group (PCG), is offering 90-minute virtual sessions designed to empower families as they navigate the special education process. These sessions start later this month 

These sessions will cover important topics such as understanding special education rights, navigating Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), and fostering effective communication with schools. We believe these sessions will be a valuable resource for parents and families of children with disabilities.

I've attached a flyer with more information, including registration details. We would greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word to families who may benefit from these sessions.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support!

Respectfully,
