November Meet-Up: Digging Deeper: Legal Issues Supporting Students with Hearing Hearing Loss
Join us LIVE on November 14th at 7:00 pm CST with Dr. Karen Anderson, Director of Supporting Success for Children with Hearing Loss
Teachers of the deaf/hard of hearing already know about the IDEA special education law and how it guides the provision of services. There are important aspects of the Americans with Disabilities Act and some key case law court cases that teachers also need to be aware of as they provide specific information on access, supports, and services relevant to students with hearing loss. This presentation will provide an overview of information this information that is beyond IDEA.
**Access to the training afterward is exclusively limited to Professional Academy Members Only. Join the Academy now!
