LEARN HOW QUALITY PREK CAN PROFOUNDLY IMPACT THE LIVES OF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

Join The Webinar | Thursday, February 18th At 3pm ET 

Mounting research demonstrates the far-reaching benefits of effective early education, specifically on children in poverty and those with disabilities.  While high quality early education has been a top priority of the Obama Administration’s Education Policy and continues to be a focus point in the current presidential election, states have been slow to move forward on legislation.

In this presentation, Dr. Robert Pasternack, former U.S. Assistant Secretary for the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, will discuss the profound impact high-quality PreK programs have on the lives of students with disabilities and their families.

In This Webinar You Will Learn:

• About effective program models used in Utah and Chicago for delivering PreK services to students with disabilities and their families
• How the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), passed into law late last year, includes provisions for effective PreK delivery
• About the use of effective PreK programs as a proven method for preventing inappropriate referrals into special education
