Program Information:

IEPs and Section 504 plans for students with ADHD often contain "default" or "go-to" ADHD accommodations which, addition to lacking the individualization needed to meet the FAPE standard, are often unnecessary, inappropriate, or even counter-productive to the student's success. To make matters worse, they often result in implementation issues and staff frustration, which can also lead to significant liability. In this session, nationally-recognized speaker and special education attorney Erin D. Gilsbach, who has specialized experience with and knowledge of the topic, emphasized the importance of re-thinking "standard" ADHD accommodations to increase effectiveness and minimize potential liability. This compassionate and eye-opening session, which provides legally-defensible solutions and alternatives to some of the most common and problematic examples from caselaw and Erin's own practice will challenge the way participants look at accommodating students with ADHD.
