On-Demand Web Training Coming Soon

If you cannot join us in Lexington on August 22, we will soon offer on-demand web training programs. The six-hour Wrightslaw Special Education Law and Advocacy program was produced this summer. The program is divided into four segments: two about the law and two about advocacy and includes more than an hour of extra content. This program will be available in a few weeks.

On-demand programs allow you to study when time permits. You can work at your own pace. If you prefer to study with others, team up with a friend or two. Or start an educational advocacy study group.

We are building a library of on-demand programs on a variety of topics. Later, depending on interest, we may offer live events and/or training.
