Communication, Collaboration and How the Pandemic Changed Our Way of Building Family and School Relationships

Communication in special education has always played an important role in building collaborative relationships between families and schools. When we communicate with each other we build better teams which result in improved educational outcomes for students. Covid-19 has presented us with a unique opportunity to create and improve family-school partnerships. Now more than ever we know and understand the importance of collaborative school and family relationships. This workshop, presented jointly by a parent of an exceptional student who navigated the special education system and a mediator who specializes in special education dispute resolution, will provide you with communication and collaboration strategies and help you learn how to build stronger, more effective family-school relationships.
