WEBINAR: Students with Down Syndrome: Inclusion, Mainstreaming, and the Least Restrictive Environment.
Wondering how your child’s school is going to address inclusion? With schools reopening to in-person learning, safety protocols, and cohorts there are a lot of questions about how students are going to receive their education in the least restrictive environment. Join us for a discussion about special education rights and how schools are approaching the coming school year with a focus on inclusion and mainstreaming. Let’s talk about how to advocate for inclusive change in placement and better and collaborative outcomes for students with Down syndrome!
Moderated by Seth Schwartz, Esq. Panelists of advocates include April Villafaña, Ashley Parton, Jeni Rayle, Karla Maldonado, and Sarah Tira.
