Whether you are just starting to consider an IEP for your child or your child has had one for a few years, it is important to understand the terms, organize your documents, and know how to advocate for your child. NPN has teamed up with autism expert and special education advocate Mo Buti, to educate parents on the ins and outs of the IEP process.

This 20-minute webinar will help parents of children with and without an Individualized Education Program (IEP) navigate what to do with reports obtained outside of school. Whether you have an assessment, a tutor's progress report, a doctor's report, or other forms of documentation, this webinar will inform you how to use this information to assist the school in determining appropriate services for your child.

You will learn tools you can use right away including:

• Types of reports that can be used to obtain an IEP or used for appropriate modifications to an existing IEP
• Sample emails to school administrators
• The time frame schools legally have to respond to your requests
• How to be an advocate for your child with special needs
