Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act protects children with disabilities from acts of discrimination and exclusion because of their disability.
We are pleased to have Candace Cortiella, director of The Advocacy Institute (www.advocacyinstitute.org/), as our guest speaker for this webinar. A disability rights advocate for more than 20 years, Ms. Cortiella has provided training and advocacy services for families of students with disabilities and worked as a government affairs associate for a leading learning disabilities organization. She oversees several projects including the Advocate Academy, IDEA Money Watch, and Our Kids Count. She is the co-author of Understanding the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act available here.
This free webinar will cover the special support a child with a disability is entitled to so that they can be successful in school.
Are you wondering if this webinar would benefit you?
- Has your child ever been excluded from a field trip or school function because of “behavior”?
- Does your child have a disability but does not meet the criteria for IDEA Special Education?
- Are there accommodations needed at school that relate to your child’s medical/health condition?
- Is your child currently receiving services under an IEP (Individualized Education Program) but some issues are outside the scope of the plan?
