The Special Needs Advocacy, LLC, in partnership with Montgomery College Workforce Development and Continuing Education, presents “Special Needs Advocacy Training Institute: Everything an Advocate Needs to Know.” This 4-session course, based on Rich Weinfeld and Michelle Davis’s Special Needs Advocacy Resource Book, begins in October and is expected to fill quickly. Parents – Do you want to become more effective advocates for your children with special needs?
Graduate Students and Professionals – Are you interested in a career as a Special Needs Advocate?
School Staff and Administrators – Have you been looking for an opportunity for a deeper understanding of special education law, and what you can do with the resources that you have to work cooperatively with families?
This is more than just the cursory overview of special education law offered by others. You will gain an in-depth understanding of all facets of advocacy through supervised practice and application of skills, both during and between sessions taught by practicing advocates, attorneys, psychologists and other related service providers. You will receive individualized feedback from practicing professionals. Learn what advocates know so that you, too, can get results that make a difference for each child’s future. You will leave this course with the knowledge and skills you need to advocate effectively for children. This is the opportunity you have been waiting for!
CEU Credits available (3) for this graduate level course.
