The content from this post comes from Dr. Whitehead's weekly email.


These emails are sent out weekly to leaders in special education and Section 504. Each email contains tips and resources on a variety of topics that are meant to keep you informed and up to date. Please consult your district attorney if you are looking for legal advice, as this is out of my realm. The opinions contained herein are my own.

Check out our SLP conference call for presenters below. Please feel free to pass this on to anyone interested. Please feel free to reach out if you have ideas on topics and resources. This week’s emails include links to information on:
