Product Description
Product Description
Hear the expert panel simulate key portions of a Bureau of Special Education Appeals (BSEA) Hearing; the fact pattern features a student with disabilities, and whether the school district can appropriately meet her needs within the district’s program.
Parents are alleging that, in spite of years of services within the district’s program, their daughter is failing to make educational progress which, in turn, impacts her social and emotional development. Consequently, parents are seeking placement at an approved private special education school. The district believes that it is offering an appropriate program in the least restrictive environment and that placement in an out-of-district private school is both unnecessary and violates the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act’s (IDEA)’mandate of educating a child in the least restrictive environment.
Observe highly experienced attorneys as they frame key aspects of the case, discuss strategy, assemble exhibits, and present the case. And get the hearing officer’s perspective on what styles, techniques, and strategies are effective—along with a discussion of what “to do” and what “not to do.”
