New! Simulations of an Eligibility Meeting and IEP meetings.
Attendees will be broken up into small groups, given a hypothetical situation and documents, assigned a role on the eligibility/IEP team to play, and participate in the mock meeting. They will be guided by a "coach," or ISEA faculty member who will provide feedback.
The Institute begins on Sunday, January 10 and ends on Friday, January 15, 2021.
Application Process Applications are reviewed on a bi-weekly rolling basis until the class is full. Early applications are recommended.

This training was beyond what I expected and was a tremendously rewarding experience. It has given me the confidence to be a better advocate. ISEA is a comprehensive, informative and practical seminar for attorneys and advocates. This was one of the best educational experiences of my life. I gained the skills and confidence needed to further my advocacy for children with disabilities and established important professional contacts and friendships. I don't think I've ever learned more in one week. ISEA changed the way I think about case strategies in special education law, it’s not all about due process, it’s about resolving the issue at the lowest possible level so that children can receive the free and appropriate public education that they both deserve and have a legal right to. From the novice to the experienced advocate, you will learn something you did not know and need to know. As someone who was passionate about special education law but wary of attacking a new practice area, especially one where mentors are almost non-existent, this week was so informative. I came away with all the skills I needed to start fighting for clients. I made invaluable connections with fellow attendees. Worth every penny. Learn more about Wrightslaw Training Programs
