Program Information:

Who makes IDEA decisions if a student is living with a neighbor and doesn’t have contact with his parents? What if parents are separated and both want to attend an IEP meeting but refuse to be in the same room? What if one parent is currently incarcerated or is subject to a protection-from-abuse order but expresses a desire to be involved in the IEP process? What if parents disagree about important issues such as administration of medication or the provision specific accommodations or services? Do any of these questions sound familiar? Special educators encounter a wide variety of family law issues with some posing a complicated entanglement of both state and federal law. In this session, special education attorney Erin D. Gilsbach discusses the legal aspects of and provides some helpful solutions to some of the most common (and a few interestingly uncommon) family law issues that educators may encounter.
