PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO OVERWHELMING DEMAND, REGISTRATION FOR THIS DATE IS CLOSED AND NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

The new special education regulations have been a long time in the making, and many changes were made along the way. Is your staff ready to implement the changes July 1st? How will the new state requirements intersect with applicable federal requirements?

Join your colleagues as our special education attorneys delve into the new regulations and their myriad implications for Connecticut school districts on May 16th.

Workshop topics include:

  • Changes to referral and child find requirements: How are they different?
  • The new homebound and hospitalized instruction dispute resolution process: Can we really insist on access to the doctor?
  • ESY disputes: How much time is enough time?
  • Graduation requirements: The scope of the right to walk with your class.
