Join Us

Special Education Family Forum, brought to you by the NYC Department of Education. During this virtual Forum, you'll learn about a variety of special education topics from experts, hear from parent leaders, and get tools that can be used to support participation in the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process. Our workshops have been developed to meet the diverse learning needs of families who are new to special education, those with children who are preparing for life after high school, and everything in between. 

 

See featured speakers, breakout sessions, online resources and discussion panels, all under one virtual roof!
