Ever opened your state’s Parent Procedural Safeguards and thought, “What the heck am I supposed to do with this?”

You’re not alone.

The Parent Procedural Safeguards contain important information about your rights, but they’re also packed with legal language, unfamiliar terminology, and a whole lot of information. The trick isn’t necessarily reading every word at once—it’s knowing what matters to you and when.

In this introductory webinar, we take a practical look at the Parent Procedural Safeguards and how they can serve as a roadmap through the special education process. We’ll explore where key protections show up and how the safeguards connect to the decisions and steps you may encounter along the way.
