For Pro Bono Attorneys
It’s what we all want for our children: A good education, a stable family, and a roof over their heads.
Seminar #1, Friday, February 24, 2012 11:30-1:30: Education Advocacy, presented by Rebekah Gleason, Esq. Children who are identified as needing individual education plans or who may need these plans are oftentimes better served when an advocate can work with the school to ensure that the agreed learning techniques are implemented. Effective educational teams working together prepare a child to thrive in today’s complex world.
