Did your child experience significant learning loss last year during distance learning? Has your child been denied access to their free and appropriate education? If so, they may be eligible to receive compensatory education services (comp ed).

Join us in our informative conversation regarding updates in the area of comp ed. Our guests will be special education attorneys: Vickie Brett, Esq. and Amanda Selogie, Esq. from the Inclusive Education Project (https://www.inclusiveeducationproject.org/).
