The Down Syndrome Education Series (DSES) is a monthly educational seminar for families of children with Down syndrome, designed to connect parents with information that will positively impact the education and well-being of their child.

Nov. 10th, Topic & Speaker: How to IEP in a Pandemic with Elizabeth Eynon-Kokrda, Education Rights Counsel

About our speaker: 
Education Rights Counsel was created from a desire to make education better for students and families.  Co-founders, Lauren Micek Vargas & Elizabeth Eynon-Kokrda, each having extensive experience working with youth and education, faced daily dilemmas in their professional work.

"Education Rights Counsel's goal is to generate systemic change in Nebraska by equalizing access to advocacy and legal representation for under-resourced families with a focus on special education support and student discipline.  We partner with multiple individuals and organizations across the state to build understanding through education and engagement."

This is a unique moment in special education history where parents will have more data than schools will, which puts parents in a position of strength. Parents need to be prepared to advocate for their children more than ever before. We will discuss the basics of the law and how to get the IEP you need to set your child on a track to success.
