If, like me, you’re unfamiliar with Special Education Quality Assurance (SEQA), this free, interactive workshop will likely be helpful.

Part of the New York State Education Department, SEQA oversees preschool and school-age special ed services through a quality assurance review process that “emphasizes attainment of positive results for student with disabilities,” according to its website. SEQA has regional offices that assist parents and school districts alike.

Beyond providing technical assistance and other help to parents, school district personnel, and private providers, SEQA investigates and resolves State Complaints.

Participants will learn:

• The ABCs of SEQA and how Regional Associates can help you
• The benefits of special-education mediation
• What to know about the State Complaint process and how it works from start to finish
• Additional resources for preschool and school-age special education
