wbur.org: "Special education planning form gets revamp in Mass. for first time in 20 years"
"It’s all about perception of self," he said. "If the system does not view you in a positive way how are you going to succeed?"But now, for the first time in 20 years, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has updated its suite of IEP resources, starting with forms that invite more student input about their educational goals and plans. That feedback will be critical to developing the student's IEP, which lays out the services the student receives in a school year.Advocates and educators across the state say they're optimistic that the new IEP forms and process it generates will lead to a more high-quality IEP and improve the overall educational experience for students with disabilities.The overhaul is the result of a nine-year effort led by the state department of education and guided by teachers and administrators, as well as advocates like Gabovitch and Julia Landau, a senior project director with the Massachusetts Advocates for Children."

Franklin SEPAC presents MGH's Think:Kids Collaborative Problem Solving Workshop - Mar 29 (virtual)
This interactive workshop will provide an introduction to the Collaborative Problem Solving model.
Presenter Ben Stich, LICSW, M.Ed, is a Certified Trainer and Consultant for Think:Kids.
Kids with challenging behavior are tragically misunderstood and mistreated. Rewards and punishments don’t work and often make things worse. Thankfully, there’s another way. But it requires a big shift in mindset.
This workshop is intended for parents, caregivers, teachers, service providers, & adult community members.
Wednesday, March 29, 2023 - from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM - This event is virtual
