Collaborative Communication in Special Education

Join Michigan Alliance for Families for an online workshop: Collaborative Communication in Special Education–The Who, What, Where, When & How of Special Education Mediation Services.

Good communication between parents and the school district is critical in working together to meet the educational needs of students with disabilities. However, effective communication sometimes needs additional support.

Join this online session to learn more about facilitation and mediation and how these services can support these collaborative conversations to help build a foundation for student achievement.

Discover:
• Who is SEMS and what do they offer?
• What is mediation and facilitation? Is there a difference?
• Where do mediation and facilitation fit in with IDEA dispute resolution options?
• When might a parent contact SEMS?
• How to request mediation or facilitation?
