Click here to download Butte-PAK-Meeting

What:
The purpose of Montana PAK is to develop a monthly forum for parents to collaborate and receive information about special education advocacy and the federal/state laws that protect their children. In addition, PAK aims to provide a public medium to discuss educational concerns and to raise awareness about the scope of services, as well as local resources, which are available for children. One of those services is an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). An IEP is meant to be a collaborative process between parents, teachers, officials of the school system, and sometimes others who have expertise in the nature of a child's disability or provision of particular services. Parents are often overwhelmed by the special education process as they seek to improve their child's programming during IEP meetings. As an essential member of the IEP team, parents must have an understanding of the legal requirements which guide a school district's practices. Parents can improve their advocacy skills by obtaining a solid understanding of their child's legal rights under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), and state laws. Although PAK is an organization for providing training and support program for parents, PAK invites parents, professionals and community members who are interested in improving their knowledge about special education advocacy. PAK meetings will be led by parent advocates who have considerable experience with the special education process with presentations by attorneys, special education advocates, and other professionals.

ADA 508 assistive technology technology employment

shared by Roger Holt on 21 Jul 10 - Cached

Twenty years ago, a simple, standardized way to link together pages of text via the Internet was invented, and the World Wide Web was born.  Perhaps equally amazing as this innovation are all of the commercial communications advances that were either nascent or not even invented then  – email, Smartphones, GPS, and the rechargeable batteries that power laptops, cell phones, and cameras to name a few.   For as powerful as these inventions were in changing the lives of so many Americans, we recognize that technology has the power not just to entertain but to enhance our work-life experience and connect us to our families and communities. This is particularly true for the approximately 54 million Americans with disabilities.
