PART 3
As we continue with Part 3 of our webinar series “Dissecting the IEP” we will be taking an intense look at ways to develop effective IEP goals. The goals that are a part of a student’s IEP are extremely significant to the effectiveness of the IEP as a whole. In this webinar we will discuss the importance of both creativity and the concept of S.M.A.R.T. goals for a student’s IEP. You don’t want to miss the important and relevant information that will be shared in this webinar!

Mission Empower's Parent Support Group
2018-06-12 18:00 - 19:00
We are appreciative of your interest and your support of Mission Empower and our programs and services. Mission Empower is continuing to expand in the ways that we can support families. One of these ways is through a Parent Support Group.

This will be an opportunity for parents and caregivers to meet in a variety of locations to network, share their stories and hear others stories. It is a way for parents to know they aren’t alone, and that they are a part of a group that they can relate to. We will be hosting an Open House for all who are interested in hearing more about this program.

This event will take place Tuesday, June 12th from 6-7 pm in our office, 1611 Peach St Suite 120, Erie, PA 16501. Come enjoy supportive, fun conversations, activities and tasty refreshments as we share more about this program with you. If you have any questions feel free to call Curtis Jones Jr. at 814.825.0788 Ext. 102 or email at cjones@missionempower.org.
We look forward to seeing you there!
