On June 7, 2018, the Special Needs Advocacy Network, Inc. ("SPAN") hosted its 10th Annual Same Side of the Table forum. BSEA Director, Reece Erlichman, moderated a panel of two hearing officers (Rosa Figueroa and Catherine Putney-Yaceshyn), Parent Attorney Lillian Wong, School Attorney Paige Tobin and several advocates and SPED Administrators.
The presenters discussed their approaches to settlement conferences and due process hearings by reviewing actual case decisions. The panelists highlighted successful strategies for staying student-focused throughout the the framework of IDEA. Thank you to all the parents, advocates, and educators that attended this event.
