Join us for the Special Education Advocacy Summit – hosted by the Michigan Parent, Advocate & Attorney Coalition (MiPAAC) – featuring Wrightslaw!
Let’s come together on Special Education Day (Dec 2), which honors the signing of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) into law on this day in 1975, by joining with fellow parents, advocates, and attorneys in building and deepening your advocacy knowledge.
This is going to be the best opportunity parents will have in Michigan to learn all about effective advocacy in special education!
The MiPAAC Summit will include a Thursday evening Meet & Greet as well as a full-day Wrightslaw Special Education Law and Advocacy Training with Pete Wright on Friday and then Saturday wraps up with a Michigan focus on Putting Your Advocacy into Action.
