Special Education Learning Summits
Dive Into Special Education!
Spend the day with FACT Oregon. We'll help you understand and participate in special education services.
Together, we will:
Explore special education and the IEP
Share effective communication strategies
Talk about how to resolve disagreements
Explore the purpose of IDEA, its core principles, and how IDEA supports students with disabilities in accessing their education
Gain a deeper understanding of Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) and Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)
Understand the importance of IEP documents and the evaluation process
Learn how the IEP is developed and the importance of meaningful parent and student participation during the special education process
Review the sections of the IEP and identify ways families and caregivers participate in the development of the IEP content
Learn effective communication techniques to express your concerns with your child's school team during disagreements, learn about various dispute resolution options available, and review the Complaint Toolkit as a valuable resource
We hope you can join us !

Due to another community-based event happening for our Spanish-speaking community - Festival Dia Del Nino - we have decided to have our Bilingual Program Specialist Britania Vasquez attend the festival instead of the summit. Britania looks forward to connecting with families at Fesitval Dia Del Norte! Please note that this means the Northern Oregon Special Education Summit trainings will be in English only, and interpretation will not be provided.
