This year, for the first time, we will offer the option for attendees to earn a Certificate in Special Education Advocacy from William &amp; Mary Law School for those who successfully complete the Institute and opt to earn the Certificate.<\/p>\n<p>Please note that in Virginia, there are no certification or training requirements to become a special education advocate. We encourage you to research your state\u2019s rules and regulations on the requirements, if any, of working as a special education advocate. This course does not provide a certification or endorsement. We are simply offering a Certificate in Special Education Advocacy, which indicates that our attendees have successfully completed the required courses within the Institute of Special Education Advocacy.<\/p>\n<p>For those who choose the new Certificate option, the cost of registration will be $1195 for advocates and $1395 for attorneys. Starting in 2018, only the Certificate in Special Education Advocacy track will be offered. <a href=\"http:\/\/law.wm.edu\/academics\/programs\/jd\/electives\/clinics\/specialed\/isea\/index.php\"><span style=\"color: #0066cc;\">Learn more<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The ISEA five-day training program in special education advocacy is designed for experienced advocates, law students, new attorneys, and attorneys who are new to special education law<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>22 sessions on applicable laws, ethics, best practices in advocacy, strategies in working with parents and schools, and dispute resolution procedures<\/li>\n<li>taught by national leaders in the field<\/li>\n<li>CEU and CLE credit anticipated (including Ethics)<\/li>\n<li>law students &#8211; credit &amp; non credit<\/li>\n<li>attendance limited to 55<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0066cc;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0066cc;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/speak\/17.07.va.wm.htm\">Conference details<\/a><\/strong> <\/span>including fees, registration, and agenda topics.<\/p>\n<p>All registrants receive copies of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/bks\/selaw2\/selaw2.htm\"><span style=\"color: #0066cc;\"><em>Wrightslaw: Special Education Law, 2nd Edition<\/em><\/span><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/bks\/feta2\/feta2.htm\"><em><span style=\"color: #0066cc;\">Wrightslaw: From Emotions to Advocacy, 2nd Edition<\/span><\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/bks\/aaiep\/index.htm\"><em><span style=\"color: #0066cc;\">Wrightslaw: All About IEPs<\/span><\/em><\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/bks\/aat\/index.htm\"><em><span style=\"color: #0066cc;\">Wrightslaw: All About Tests and Assessments<\/span><\/em><\/a> as well as PDF copies of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/bks\/2016law\/index.htm\"><em><span style=\"color: #0066cc;\">Wrightslaw: Special Education Legal Developments and Cases 2016<\/span><\/em><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/bks\/2015law\/index.htm\"><em><span style=\"color: #0066cc;\">Wrightslaw: Special Education Legal Developments and Cases 2015<\/span><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Attendees will be selected via an application process.
