Description: Join us at the Common Ground Society office for IEP (Individualized Education Program) study hall. This will be an informal community get-together to work on IEP, 504, IFSP, IPP, or any other medical, special education, disability, or advocacy related stuff in community with other people who get it. Bring your well organized IEP binder to show off, or bring your stack of papers and know you’re not alone as you tackle it. We will have snacks, supplies, and reference materials. ** Professional guests from SELPA, SCOE, Matrix and more!
