Course Description:

Special Education Attorney Jordan M. Bullinger will present a virtual session that will discuss secondary transition, dispute resolution including mediation, state complaints, due process hearings, and remedies, and will address contingency learning plans, recovery services, and federal cases relating to COVID-19.
