Understanding your Parental Rights in the IEP and 504 Process
Join the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) Parent University for a workshop designed to empower you with the knowledge needed to advocate effectively for your child.

We will guide your through your parental rights and responsibilities in the Individualized Education Program (IEP) and Section 504 processes at CPS and equip you with understanding and tools that will ensure your child receives the support and accommodations they need to succeed.
This parent centered workshop will be led by:

OSD Parent University
Parent University meetings are held monthly and are open to the general public. Meetings are recorded. These meetings provide empowering learning experiences to the parents/guardians of students with disabilities to help them support their child’s academic success, further their own education, and promote advocacy for their student with a disability.
Parent Universities offer parents, guardians, and community members access to learning experiences on a broad array of topics at CPS school sites across the city. These training sessions are offered at no cost. Past topics include an overview of the Individualized Education Program (IEP), executive functioning, compensatory education, and other special education related topics.
