Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), parent participation is a right. In the special education process, nurturing collaborative relationships with parents who are English language learners requires intention and practice. Special education meetings where interpreters are involved provide a critical opportunity for both. In this webinar, presenters from the PACER Center in Minnesota and the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education will discuss their respective interpreter support programs, resources, and training opportunities.
