Facilitated (IEP) Individualized Education Program Solution-Focused Strategies for Challenging Admission, Review and Dismissal (ARD) Meetings

This workshop provides practical strategies for partnering with parents in respectful ways that engage their support in resolving ARD meeting and/or school problems. Based on family therapy techniques and research on helping people change, workshop strategies include using solution talk, reframing, instilling hope, interviewing the internalized other, working with so-called “resistant” parents, and integrating solution-focused practice into parent-teacher meetings, parent counseling and consultation, and parent education programs. Demonstrations, videotapes, experiential exercises, and practice activities are used to help participants apply workshop techniques the very next day on the job.
