Parent Workshops and Trainings

Parent Workshops and Trainings

 

This school year, the ESE Department is excited about working with a number of organizations in our community to provide parents with a variety of resources and supports that they might find to be beneficial. This year, we will have workshops and trainings provided by Family Network on Disabilities (FND), the Florida Diagnostic & Learning Resource System (FDLRS), Carelon, FIN (formerly Florida Inclusion Network), and Project 10. Our goal is to provide parents and families of students with disabilities the training and information they need to help their children reach their highest potential as responsible, productive citizens.
