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.

A Note About IDEA 2004

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act was revised in 2004 and is known as IDEA 2004. The federal regulations were revised in August, 2006. Wrightslaw programs provide an overview about disability law and focus on IDEA 2004 and the regs. At the same time, attendees will learn about Section 504 and other federal education laws.

In most of our training programs, we generally use Wrightslaw: Special Education Law, 2nd Edition, and Wrightslaw: From Emotions to Advocacy, 2nd Edition.

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 any new developments in No Child Left Behind, any recent Supreme Court decisions and status of any pending U.S. Supreme Court cases and how these decisions are likely to affect you.

Advocacy programs focus on 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.
