The Arc of Chester County’s Education Advocates will be on deck to discuss Special Education and provide an overview of the Individualized Education Program (IEP) and 504 Plan processes. This presentation will cover disability categories and eligibility, evaluations, key terms, applicable laws and timelines, and the essential components of an IEP.
