Nervous about your upcoming PPT meeting? Come learn how to read an IEP (Individualized Education Program) in order to better prepare yourself. Understand what a “good” goal is and how to interpret all the jargon. Attend the PPT (planning and placement team) meeting feeling confident while effectively advocating for your child.
As a special Education Advocate, Andrea Alvarez focuses on empowering parents whose voices are the best tools when advocating for their children.
Andrea Alvarez is a veteran special needs teacher, director, and advocate. As the Director of Special Education at North Hills middle and high schools, Andrea led, wrote, advocated, and attended dozens of Individualized Education Programs (IEP’s).

The workshop will go for one hour, followed by an opportunity to ask individual questions.
