You are welcome to register for individual sessions or for the entire series of sessions. More information: Summer series - Fall series What: When a school proposes the disciplinary removal of a student with special needs for more than 10 days, the school must first hold a Manifestation Determination Review meeting. This review process is designed to provide a safeguard to children with special needs to ensure that the school does not excessively punish those children who are misbehaving as a direct result of their disability. If this causal connection can be established, a school cannot issue a removal and must instead provide appropriate behavioral supports and services. In this panel, we will explore the inherent problems with the review process as it currently exists and propose solutions that would provide meaningful protections for children with special needs who have behavioral issues. When: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm Mountain Cost: $79.00 per session or $275.00 for the summer series (all 5 sessions) $599.00 Annual Webinar Subscription: Includes ALL Live and Archived Sessions (Member discounts available)
