A Parent's Guide to Advocating for their Child with Special Needs
This presentation highlights essential information for parents, and the professionals who support them, in understanding the systems that control access to services for children with special needs. Many of the examples are from British Columbia's education system, but the basic principles of effective advocacy apply to most jurisdictions. The materials presented in this workshop include guidance to empowered families to understand their rights, roles and responsibilities with practical information on how to achieve their advocacy goals.
