The IDEA provides a continuum of dispute resolution options to empower children with disabilities and their parents with tools to help them resolve disagreements related to the child’s education. In order for States to move past focusing solely on compliance and instead move toward more effective and self-reflective dispute resolution practices, it is necessary for States to ensure that their policies and procedures are fully aligned with the requirements in the IDEA. This workshop will facilitate a self and/or peer review of State’s policies and procedures, while providing an opportunity for participants to learn from colleagues about effective practices and successful approaches.
