The Massachusetts Department of Education and Secondary Education has recently rolled out a new IEP form. The Lurie Center for Autism invites you to join Gretchen Timmel, MEd and Lisa Nowinski, PhD, for a brief overview of the form and how it should be implemented to support students with autism. This presentation is intended to provide families with an introduction to the new form, highlighting a number of features including elements that allow for inclusive involvement among student, family and school in defining the needs of a student, provision of interpreters and conversion of IEP into native language of student and parent as needed, and the specific listing of teaching methodology that will be used to achieve each specific IEP goal. Previewing the new IEP form should be empowering!

Coffee Convo presentations are offered monthly. All events are conducted virtually, free of charge, and are open to the general public. Follow the link below to confirm your registration for the September event. Event meeting links will be sent to registered participants the day before each event.
