About The Webinar

IEP, IEE, PWN, 504 - in this alphabet soup of acronyms, where is a parent to start?  Depending on where you live, different programs may be available for your child with special needs to obtain school-based assistance.  But without guides to help you navigate, the process can be downright demoralizing.  

Advocating for your child with disabilities can be stressful and even more difficult with the educational system's complex rules and obtuse terminology.  While certain rights are guaranteed by federal law and within your state, accessing these rights can be challenging, no matter your child's age.

​​​​​​​During this session, you'll hear from the following four members of the Mindful Return team:  David Whiting, J.D., who is not only the parent of special needs children, but is also an attorney focusing his practice on educational law and advocacy; Mia Durairaj and Bryan Levine, working parents and creators of Mindful Return's "Balancing Career with a Special Needs Child" program, who have gone through the IEP process with their own children; and Lori Mihalich-Levin, CEO and Founder of Mindful Return, who has been through the 504 process with her children. 

​​​​​​​Note: At Mindful Return, we feel strongly about compensating our team of working parents for the wisdom they bring to this subject. To cover the cost of our experts' time, the cost of this webinar is $99.

During this conversation, we will address the following questions:
