Join the Maryland Library for the Blind and Print Disabled (LBPD) to explore the question: What is an IEP and why would my child need one?
Navigating the special education system can feel overwhelming, especially when you're advocating for a child with a print disability, which may include visual, physicial, or reading disabilities such as dyslexia. Join a panel featuring an education attorney, a parent advocate, and a dyslexia specialist who will explain what an Individualized Education Program (IEP) is, what it is not, and how it differs from a Section 504 Plan. The discussion will also explore when families should consider working with an educational advocate and what that support can look like throughout the process. Whether you're just beginning your journey or looking to better understand your rights and options, this program will provide practical information to help you advocate with confidence.
This is a moderated discussion with panelists.
