HOW TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR TUITION REIMBURSEMENT FOR YOUR CHILD IN PRESCHOOL
May 17, 2011 Training 7-9 pm

On May 17th Arc Advocacy Services will be offering training by Judy Gran, Esq., a leading attorney in the field of special education rights on what criteria is used to determine if your child is eligible for tuition reimbursement in a preschool program. This training will be held at The Arc’s administrative offices at 3075 Ridge Pike, Eagleville, PA 19403 and will begin at 7 pm.

Some children are being reimbursed for tuition in the preschool programs. It is important if you wish to be reimbursed for preschool services that you are aware of the provisions in IDEA that affect reimbursement. It is Arc Advocacy’s belief that if your child receives early intervention preschool services, and if his individual education plan has socialization goals in it, your child is eligible for a free appropriate education in the least restrictive environment. For the vast majority of children who have social goals in their IEP this means reimbursement for preschool services. Judy will discuss court decisions and administrative rulings concerning reimbursement for preschool services in the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and the Office of Dispute Resolution and the guidance those cases offer.
