Wrightslaw
Special Education Law and Advocacy Training
with Pete Wright, Esq.
City, State
Date
Wrightslaw training programs are not hosted by Wrightslaw, but instead by various individuals, agencies, organizations and other entities around the country. Wrightslaw is not involved in either the registration process, fee, or in the selection of the venue, and other logistics such as education credits.
If you arrived at this page from our full schedule page of training programs, the conference host individual, organization, or agency is in the process of determining the training location and setting up the registration information and fee.
When Wrightslaw is provided with that information, this URL and information below will be edited and replaced with a new filename and information and links needed to register for the program.
The website URL for that training program will be replaced with a filename: yy.mm.xx.htm. For example, a conference hosted in Virginia in October, 2025, will have a filename of: 25.10.va.htm and will be linked at:
https://www.wrightslaw.com/speak/25.10.va.htm.
However, if the "Full Schedule" page notes that the training is not open to the public or is limited to parents/clients and/or employees of the host organization or similar language, then they will handle the registration and location information and will not make it available to the public. In that instance of "closed to the public" training, the above paragraphs are not applicable and this page will not be replaced with registration and location information.
Thanks for your interest.
