Please join the Family Resource Network and Starbridge for our upcoming Lay Advocacy Training:

Ask the Advocate

Friday, July 14, 2023

This workshop provides a unique opportunity to hear a Starbridge advocate’s perspective on the special education process, disability services, tips for the summer months or other related topics. This is designed to be an open forum in which participants ask questions in a group setting.

Participants will have the opportunity to:

• Bring your particular special education or other disability-related issues to the floor
• Learn about issues others face and possible solutions
• Learn where you can find additional information about special education and advocacy

Our speaker: Kara Georgi is the Parent Education Specialist for Starbridge Parent Training and Information Center. She offers support and information for families and professionals navigating the special education system in Cayuga, Tompkins, Onondaga, Cortland, Broome, Chenango, Madison, Otsego, and Delaware Counties.
