This interactive workshop provides participants with a description of the essential components of an Individualized Education Plan. As a result of this workshop, participants will be able to read and understand an IEP document, be able to effectively participate in IEP meetings and know how to address IEP concerns/issues in a proactive and positive way. Participants will have an opportunity to review their own IEP document and will be given tools to help them effectively participate in the development of an Individualized Education Plan.

The mission of the Statewide Parent Advocacy Network (SPAN) is to empower and support families and inform and involve professionals and others interested in the healthy development and education of children and youth.

Our Vision: All families in New Jersey will have the resources and support they need to ensure that their children become fully participating and contributing members of our communities and society.
