Abilis, the Greenwich-based non-profit organization that provides services and supports for individuals with special needs and their families, will present a workshop on “Understanding Special Education 101,” presented by Maria Engborg and Ida Lupinacci, on Thursday, April 27 from 9 to 11 a.m., at Abilis 1150 Summer St., Stamford.
The workshop is designed to teach parents how to best advocate for their child as they enter or transition through the Special Education system. This overview will give a basic understanding of the process, rights, laws and terminology in special education to help guide them through this journey. A continental breakfast will be served.
The program is free-of-charge to parents, caregivers, grandparents, and educators who are caring for or working with children. Seats are limited and registration is required.
