Special education law to be explored at NBI seminar, May 24-25

National Business Institute will present a seminar on “Special Education Law From A to Z” on Wednesday and Thursday, May 24-25, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Southfield-Detroit, 25100 Northwestern Highway in Southfield.

The laws governing special education interact in confusing and sometimes contradictory ways, yet it is crucial that schools have a firm understanding of them in order to protect the rights of students and avoid legal difficulties. This comprehensive, two-day seminar lays out all the essential requirements surrounding IEP development, discipline procedures, due process hearing requirements and more.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Create legally defensible paper trails that record every step of the special education service eligibility process.

• Properly document difficult situations where parents are unable—or even refuse—to attend IEP meetings.

• Confidently determine if a student needs an IEP or a 504 plan, and avoid critical legal mistakes.

• Create behavioral intervention plans (BIPs) that properly take into account the information contained in functional behavioral assessments (FBAs).

• Ensure special needs students' educational rights are protected in cases of suspension or expulsion.

• Evaluate whether moving bullied special needs students to safer environments has the potential to create serious legal difficulties.

Cost is $359 which includes audio CD and course book.  To register, call 1-800-930-6182 or visit www.nbi-sems.com.
