- IDEA: With sessions for every role in special education, this track includes comprehensive coverage of schools' obligations to provide children with disabilities with a free appropriate public education.
- Section 504: The goal of this track is to assist Section 504 coordinators, administrators, social workers, counselors and service providers in building a better understanding of how to avoid discrimination claims and provide all students an equal opportunity.
- Special Ed ConnectionSM Users Group: In this track, attendees will learn how to maximize their subscription to Special Ed Connection and use this innovative online resource to advance staff knowledge and skills related to best practices, the latest court decisions, compliant policies and more.
"The session tracks help school teams divide and conquer the wealth of available content," said Julie J. Kline, Esq., Vice President, LRP Media Group and Conference Chair. "I encourage everyone in Savannah to take part in a Special Ed Connection Users Group session to discover the valuable content LRP provides all year long."
