(Larc) Parent Support Group Meeting
Are you getting the most out of your child's IEP?
The Arc of Loudoun will hold its next Parent Discussion
Group Meeting on Thursday March 13 at 7PM at the Larc office.
Topics will include:
Present level of performance--why is it important?
Goals and objectives--are they relevant and measurable?
ESY--does the IEP support it?
Related services--is my child's service direct or consult? Does
it matter? How do I know it is enough?
Placement--Is it predetermined? Do we have options? What is the
basis of placement?
Bring your child's IEP and your specific questions.
The Arc of Loudoun's Jennifer Lassiter, The Aurora School
Director and Advocate in multiple counties and Cathy Thornton,
MA, MNPS with over 30 years experience as a special education
