Greetings from the Autism Society, Tidewater Virginia – Peninsula Group!
Our January meeting will be held on Thursday, January 28th, 6:30 – 8:30pm at the Peninsula School for Autism (PLEASE NOTE: We are now meeting in the old location on Nettles Drive). We are pleased to announce our presentation for the evening will be: “Discipline and Special Education” by Valerie Slater.
Valerie Slater is a disability rights advocate at the disAbility Law Center of Virginia where she provides assistance primarily in the areas of special education, transition services and issues facing children with disabilities in the juvenile justice system. Valerie is a graduate of the University of Richmond School of Law and a practicing attorney admitted to the Virginia State Bar. She is invested in advocating for the rights of individuals with disabilities with a special passion for the rights of children. Valerie is committed to providing services to individuals, but also hopes to help educate individuals to become empowered self advocates and other advocacy agencies so they are better equipped to serve their consumers. Valerie assisted in the development of a comprehensive Special Education Basic Training and accompanying manual. The training empowers novice parents and advocacy agencies to become effective advocates for children in the special education process from child find to the completed IEP and discipline, when necessary. Valerie is a zealous advocate dedicated to protecting the rights of children across the Commonwealth of Virginia.
All meetings are open to the public. We hope you can join us for this wonderful opportunity to learn from an expert in the field on an important topic!
