Right-Time Training
Education

School is an important part of life for all children. But for children in care, school may mean additional challenges - navigating social relationships, struggling with changing districts during placement transitions, and/or academic difficulties caused by poor attendance or developmental delays.

In this course, we will highlight some common educational challenges faced by children in care. We will also discuss some of the services and supports that can be put in place for children including Individualized Education Plans (IEP) and 504 plans, as well as strategies that can be used to partner and advocate with the school system to ensure their educational needs are being sufficiently addressed.
