Challenges & Solutions

Are you worried about your child’s progress in school, but unsure where to turn? Confused by special education terms or nervous about labeling your child? You’re not alone. Special education services can be essential—but navigating the system is often overwhelming for families.

In this workshop, you’ll learn the essentials of special education law and how to advocate effectively for your child. We’ll break down the difference between a 504 Plan and an Individualized Education Program (IEP), explain the services that schools are required to provide, and help you feel more confident as a partner in your child’s learning journey.

Join Peace at Home expert Andrea Brinnel, Ed.D., for a live, interactive workshop designed to help you understand your child’s rights and build your confidence as an advocate.

504’s and IEPs – What’s the Difference and How Can They Help My Child? (2025)

Peace At Home Parenting Expert Andrea Brinnel Andrea Brinnel,Ed.D.

Challenges & Solutions

Are you concerned about your child’s progress in school but afraid to have your child “labeled”? Are you new to the process and feel confused about how special education works? Is your child already receiving special education services, but you’re still feeling confused? 

You are not alone. The world of Special Education is important to our children, but can be quite mysterious to parents.

This class will help you understand the laws behind your child’s rights. You will learn about what to expect from two different kinds of services for children with disabilities: 504 Plans and Individual Education Programs (IEPs).The difference between the two is confusing to many parents. It’s important, however, to recognize the difference so you can be an effective part of your child’s planning team and so you can evaluate whether your school is effectively meeting your child’s needs.

Connecting Home and School: How You Can Help Your Student Succeed (2025)

Expert

Peace At Home Parenting Expert LeAnn Beaulieu LeAnn Beaulieu,MA

Challenges & Solutions

Children benefit a lot when you help them bridge their two most important worlds. When students’ parents are involved in school, kids tend to have higher grades and test scores, better attendance and higher rates of completing their homework. They even have better social skills and are more likely to graduate. We all want those outcomes for our children, but it’s not always easy to establish a productive relationship with your child’s school. This workshop will help you identify strategies to initiate and maintain that important partnership with your child’s school.
