Learning Together

Understanding the IEP Process

Join South Dakota Parent Connection for a five-week online learning series for parents and families of children with disabilities. Each week, participants will watch a short, on-demand session and then join a live Zoom discussion hosted by South Dakota Parent Connection.

During the live discussions, you can:

  • Talk about what you learned.
  • Ask questions.
  • Hear ideas from other families.
  • Receive helpful information you can use when working with your child’s IEP team.
