Have you ever wondered WHY a special education referral takes SO LONG? And wondered WHAT could possibly be involved and why you have to be a part of the process? If you answered yes to either of these questions, come sit and chat with us. Bring your coffee, or other favorite school appropriate beverage, and we will share all that is involved and how important your participation is. Your favorite diagnosticians will be there to talk with you about the referral process all the way from your first comment of "Hmmm...I think this student needs more help" to "How is it possible they did/not qualify?"
Strong classrooms are built on connection, structure, and intentional teaching of social-emotional skills.

Behavioral staff will discuss the roles played by administration, general education teachers, and special education staff when students are having behaviors in a general education classroom setting.
