About the Event
An evaluation, even one diagnosing dyslexia, doesn’t automatically qualify a child for special education.
In Understanding Eligibility, we’ll unpack how school teams make eligibility decisions, what data they use, and how parents can prepare to play an informed, active role in the process. You’ll learn how to interpret evaluations, recognize adverse impact, and understand when your child may need specialized instruction versus accommodations. Join us to gain the clarity and confidence to navigate this crucial step in your child’s education journey.
We’ll close with a live Q&A so you can head into your next eligibility meeting feeling informed, empowered, and confident.
