All special needs parents are welcome to join us at monthly online Navigating Neurodiversity Parent Workshops, which can help you advocate for your child during the IEP Process and teaches you about your special education rights!

This months topic will be: IEE's (Independent Education Evaluations)

Which will cover the following:

-What an IEE is, why you would request one, and how they can assist you in getting the supports and services that you need for your child.

-Did you know that if you disagree with the school's assessments, you can request an IEE?

-Who pays for IEEs?

-Can I choose the evaluator?

-Who are the evaluators?

-How long do I have to request an IEE?

These workshops are provided at no charge to families under the Autism Tree Navigating Neurodiversity Program, which is made possible by generous grants from DPR Construction and McGowan Advocacy Group. All workshops are hosted by McGowan Advocacy Group, an Autism Tree Community Partner. We are proud to provide families with in-depth advocacy and guidance, helping parents put their children on the right care path and ensuring a successful future for their child through this program. 

NOTE: Autism Tree was founded on a pay-it-forward model - if we help you, we ask that you help the next family! :) Since 2003, all programs and events have been provided at no cost to any of our families and only made possible by our incredible volunteers and community partners. For this reason please contact our team at least 24 hours prior to the event if you need to cancel. Failure to contact our team for cancellation will result in your family being placed on a NO SHOW list and will not be permitted to register for ANY events for 3 months from the time of no show/late cancellation (our team will remove you from any future RSVP lists).
