SUMMARY:Special Education Surrogate Parent Online Orientation Training Part One 02/17/26
DESCRIPTION:Become a Special Education Decision-Maker for a Child in State Custody\nVolunteers\, known as Special Education Surrogate Parents (SESPs)\, serve as appointed educational special decision-makers for students in the custody of the Department of Children and Families (DCF). SESP volunteers have the legal authority of a parent or legal guardian to attend special education team meetings\, approve or reject IEPs\, and\, if necessary\, file a complaint or appeal. SESPs spend about 30-40 hours a year volunteering their time.\n\nIn this Orientation Training\, you will learn about the role of an SESP\, how traumatic experiences can impact learning\, and how to incorporate the appropriate supports into the IEP.\n\nPlease arrive 5 minutes before the start of the training. The training will start on time and we will not be able to admit attendees after the training begins. If you cannot make it on time\, please email us at rtsc@fcsn.org and sign up for the next Orientation\nFor questions\, contact us at rtsc@fcsn.org or (617) 399-8342.
