Back in March, I presented to a very enthusiastic group of parents and advocates at the COPAA conference. It was a great time and for those of who can attend next year in Washington DC (in early March 2009) I strongly recommend it. COPAA is a time not only to learn a lot, it also recharges and revitalizes. For a short while, it is so wonderful to be among like-minded people and not have to defend and explain yourself.
I have been meaning to post my presentation outline on the blog but I have not stopped running since coming back from COPAA. The following pdf file was among my speaking points during the conference. Download strategy_checklist_for_IEPs.pdf I certainly hope this helps for the remaining meetings this year and for all of those meeting yet to come.
Thank you for sharing the knowledge and strategies you have gained over the years with all of us!!

Great checklist. Thanks for sharing it. Thanks also for the review of the COPAA conference...it is one of those things I've been thinking about attending.

COPAA participants surely came away knowing they'd hit the jackpot in your session. What a great compendium of useful advice and tidbits!
