In this webinar, RIPIN presents an overview to special education directors, parent leaders, and others with an interest in parent engagement at the local level. The very teamwork and collaboration that are at the core of IDEA are also at the core of a best practice in special education (Local Special Education Parent Advisory Councils). This presentation includes a walkthrough of the national guidebook, Advocacy in Action: A Guide to Local Special Education Parent Advisory Councils and includes tips on engaging parents on system change through Rhode Island’s Special Education Local Advisory Committees.
