Our free 3-part virtual IEP workshop series were created by and for parents and offered in collaboration with Disability Rights, CA. They are designed to give families a basic overview of various topics related to IEPs and special education advocacy. They are offered in Spanish and English and help families better understand their rights so that they can become informed advocates for their kids. 

Specifically, the workshops provide clear and actionable steps on the following topics: knowing and accessing the rights of families and their students with disabilities, developing a strong IEP, monitoring the child’s progress, and ensuring IEP compliance. Each workshop session is two (2) hours long and presented in Spanish & English over the course of several weeks. Parents will receive a certificate upon completion of the full workshop series. 

SpEducational has delivered workshops to hundreds of its own members as well as through its collaborations with Special Needs Network, Disability Voices United, Alianza de Hombres (Integrative Community Collective), Bay Ed Fund, the Special Education Community Advisory Committee (CAC) for Long Beach Unified School District, the Spina Bifida Association and Un Paso Más. The workshops are developed and led by SpEducational’s Founder and CEO, Lisa Mosko Barros, an award winning bi lingual advocate for students with disabilities with over 13 years of both professional and personal experience.
