On behalf of Region III CSPD I would like to welcome you back to another school year! I would also like to let you know what we have planned (so far) for the upcoming year. I hope to have all of the events listed on the CSPD website, www.msubillings.edu/cspd , soon and will add the brochures for the events as I get information from the presenters.
If you have questions, would like to join the Region III CSPD Council, or would like to suggest professional development topics for 2010/2011 please feel free to contact me at 657-2072 or e-mail me at dmiller@msubillings.edu.
Thanks, and have a wonderful school year! - Debra Miller, Region III CSPD Coordinator

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.
