Program Description
Contract and Payment Information
A portion of the speaker's fee must be prepaid. The first
payment of 25% is due when the program is confirmed and the
contract is signed.
A second payment of 25% is due four months in advance of the program.
The remaining 50% is due at the end
of the program.
Click here to view the standard and flat rate contract letters which are revised dependent upon speaker, dates, etc.
Flat Rate / All Inclusive Speaker Fee - With all local, state, federal agencies, school districts and the military we use a flat rate for speaker fee, lodging, travel, meals, etc., so that the sole expenses are the speaker and book purchase fee. Dependent upon the location, travel issues, anticipated costs and whether there are one or two speakers, the speaker fee is increased approximately $1,250 to $3,500. We can also use the flat rate for any other group if desired.
If Pete Wright provides the training solely via Zoom, there are no costs for travel, lodging, meals, etc.
Successful Programs
We are committed to helping you put on a successful program. After details are finalized, we publicize your event through the Wrightslaw website. We will build a page for your program and will post that page on the Wrightslaw site.

Read Pete's advice about successful programs and go to the "Conference & Marketing" page to see (and listen to a podcast ) how a Detroit organization, in ten weeks from contract to conference, sold out, two weeks in advance, with 500 attendees and another sold out six weeks in advance at 250 attendees. Watch the video about their marketing.
Using email addresses mined from our Yellow Pages for Kids website, we show you how to send targeted emails to hundreds of individuals in your state and neighboring states.

A
Note About IDEA
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act was revised in 2004 and, for many years, has been known as IDEA 2004 to diffferentiate it from the prior 1997 version, known as IDEA 97. Now, many years later, we refer to the law simply as "IDEA." The federal regulations were revised in August, 2006. Wrightslaw programs provide an overview about disability law and focus on IDEA and the regs. At the same time, attendees will learn about increasingly greater impact of Section 504 and the ADA in regard to public schools, private schools and higher education.
In most of our training programs, we use Wrightslaw: Special Education Law, 2nd Ed., Wrightslaw: From Emotions to Advocacy, 2nd Ed. and Wrightslaw: All About IEPs.
Programs related to the law include the history of special education law, the law about evaluations, reevaluations, IEPs, and IEP team meetings. Programs also include the procedural requirements in IDEA 2004. Participants will learn about new developments related to Section 504 and the ADA. You will also learn about the two U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) decisions issued in 2017 and the status of any pending U.S. Supreme Court cases and how these decisions are likely to affect you.
Advocacy programs focus on an understanding of the law, advocacy skills, paper trails, the Letter to a Stranger, negotiation techniques, understanding test data, SMART IEPs, organization of the child's file, the Rule of Adverse Assumptions, the 5 W's+H+E and much more.
