The Wayne State University School of Social Work Office of Continuing Education invites child welfare workers, family preservation workers, foster care workers and adoption services to attend one of our specialized child welfare trainings. We are excited to host Detroit Public Schools School Social Worker Alan Johns, LLMSW, MSW for this training titled "All Eyes on Them: Navigating the Special Education Process from an Interdisciplinary Perspective ". 

This workshop will discuss the most effective ways to collaborate with school staff to ensure a successful IEP (Individual Education Plan) process. We will cover how to address the unique needs of children, including social-emotional, academic, and medical concerns, through appropriate eligibility, services, and accommodations in the school setting. Participants will also learn about additional school support services and get an overview of the Special Education and 504 processes. This training will include role play, small group discussion, and interactive games.

CONTINUING EDUCATION: Attendees can obtain 3 social work CECH upon completion of the training, payment receipt and passing of the post-training quiz. A CECH certificate will be emailed within 7 - 10 business days after the event.

COST:  Free to all MDHHS and private agency child welfare workers; $15 students; $45 all others
