Introduction to Disability and Special Education (Series)

Introduction to Disability and Special Education

Join FACT Oregon for a series of three introductory trainings on disability and special education.

• Session 1 (Nov 6, 6:30-7:30 pm): Key Concepts in Disability Justice.
  • Discover disability justice concepts that help change views about disability. Then, explore some tools that help promote your child's self-agency and positive development.
• Session 2 (Nov 13, 6:30-7:30 pm): Understanding Special Education
  • Explore the purpose of special education and learn about the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and its main principles.
• Session 3 (Nov 20, 6:30-7:30 pm): Collaborative Communication
  • Building on what we learned about the six core principles of IDEA in Session 2, we will talk about the important role families play on an IEP team. We will share how you and your child can meaningfully participate in meetings and proven ways to effectively communicate, collaborate, and participate with school teams.
