Understanding & Navigating Transition to Adulthood for Special needs in Massachusetts Teens Parents Young AdultsWebinar, January 12th, 2022, with the Federation for Children with Special Needs of Massachusetts. Are you interested in being a Special Education Decision-Maker for students in your community?
* Volunteers, known as Special Education Surrogate Parents (SESPs) under Massachusetts law, serve as appointed educational decision-makers for students in the custody of the Department of Children and Families (DCF) who are in need of special education services.
* Once appointed, SESP volunteers have the legal authority of a parent or legal guardian to attend special education team meetings, approve or reject IEPs, and, if necessary, file a complaint or appeal.
* On average an SESP spends about 30-40 hours a year volunteering his/her time.
* In this FREE Orientation Training, you will learn about the role of a SESP, how traumatic experiences can impact learning, and how to incorporate the appropriate supports into the IEP.
