Some of you may be new to Special Education in Westfield; some of you may have years of experience. Either way, we'd love to meet you and provide a chance to connect with other parents in our SpEd community. If you are seeking tips and suggestions for IEP implementation, or if you would like to discuss issues or concerns with other parents before the holidays, this meeting is a good opportunity for you. This meeting is an informal way to share experiences and knowledge with one another - with the objective of becoming the best possible advocates for our children and a support to one another!
 
Pre-registration is not required.
