Learn the seven top faux pas that can lead to legal trouble as you and your staff serve students with disabilities and their parents. Building on the immense popularity of her original Seven Deadly Sins video, special education attorney Melinda Baird draws from her post-IDEA '04 experiences to bring you seven new legal and practical miscues that create nightmares for school districts.
Through compelling reenactments of real-life situations, you learn the seven most common mistakes made every day by school districts including:
- Failure to implement an IEP or BIP
- Fear of confrontation with an angry parent, advocate or attorney
- Overlooking or ignoring the fact that a child may not be progressing
- And 4 more common blunders!
Plus, Ms. Baird critiques each vignette to show you and your staff what went wrong, how to prevent it from happening again, and the bottom-line lesson.
