Washtenaw County Democratic Party Special Education Summit, 6/18 @ 6-8 pm

from the Washtenaw County Democratic Party:

Special Education Summit, K-12
June 18 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm


The Washtenaw County Democratic Party is working hard to tighten our connection to the community and serve as a bridge between politics and people. Since parents have started crisis schooling, many of the gaps in our education system have been exposed. What does the “sense of urgency” in our response say about our commitment to educational equity? The WCDP’s Dems Care has organized the Special Education Summit to address this question. This event will include a number of speakers as well as several breakout panels with experts in the field. These panels include:

  • The Tea Room: Open discussion for parents
  • How Stuff Works: IEPs during COVID-19, summer resources and services
  • Advocacy is Self-Care: Special education advocacy
  • Big Changes: Social-emotional support, advice for families with students who were in self-contained classrooms
  • Ally/Working with Families and Intersections: How to support non-parent allies including teachers, social workers, and service providers
More information is forthcoming including a link to the Zoom meeting.
