This in person training is intended to assist parents and family members, in understanding the special education process through education laws and regulation. In addition you will receive a better understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the various members of the Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE) and Committee on Special Education (CSE), particularly that of the Parent Member.
