Are you finding yourself struggling to understand the IEP process and your parental rights? Are you concerned that your kiddo is not benefiting from your districts placement? Maybe you have a list of questions or perhaps this year will be your first IEP for your child, either way, we want you here!

We have invited a friend of TBODS, Advocate Jeffie Muntifering, who has served many of our families with her services in the central valley. Jeffie has 30+ years of experience advocating for children with disabilities and wants to help our families learn how to advocate for themselves and answer specific questions you may have!
