Register for the November Self-Paced Training Course: Building Strong Parent Advocates - 

PEATC, in collaboration with the Virginia Department of Education, invites families to join us for our FREE, self-paced online training, Building Strong Parent Advocates. Families of children receiving special education services find themselves in a world filled with complicated policies, confusing acronyms and terms, and piles of paperwork. Often, families find themselves looking for information and background knowledge to help them better support their children through the Individualized Education Program (IEP).

The Building Strong Parent Advocates training provides information to help families build a solid foundation to understand the special education process while empowering them to be their child’s best advocate. This self-paced training will be presented virtually and will include webinars, discussion boards, resources, and supplementary materials.

The course begins November 3, 2026 and will be open through November 23, 2026.
