What People Are Saying About Wrightslaw Programs Overview l Programs l Speakers l Schedule We get excited and energized at Wrightslaw special education law and advocacy programs and you will too. I thoroughly enjoyed your conference in Texas. The information I learned was invaluable! My ability to interpret test scores has shed new light on my child's education and my work as an advocate. You have given me the confidence and incentive to be a more passionate advocate and I sincerely thank you! - from JR. I attended your conference in New Britain, CT and just still cannot get over the exceptional content and support you provided. Your personal story is truly an inspiration! Thank you so much. I know that you will continue to make a difference in my daughter's life, as well as countless others you work with. - from LW. "Our son and daughter-in-law attended your seminar in Monterey, CA this past March. They found it very informative and two of your comments helped make the first IEP meeting last week a success. The Costco food plates were a definite hit and started the meeting off in a friendly atmosphere. The second thing of note was the use of charts to portray his progress to date. The school system staff found those informative and easy to understand.Wrightslaw has been and will continue to be an invaluable asset" - Thankful Grandparents in Virginia "What
a marvelous conference! I often leave sped presentations angry and/or
guilty because of all the things that were done or not done. This
time I left encouraged, inspired and armed!" - Melissa, advocate

"Between what I learned in the seminar and the Wrights' books, I understand the 'do's, and dont's for parents and school personnel. I implemented suggestions from the program with very positive results." - Rebecca, parent from Ohio Practical Solutions to Problems You will leave with practical ideas that you can immediately apply to your situation.  "After
the Boot Camp, I spent several days going over the bell curve,
charting out my child's test scores, setting up independent
evaluations, and reviewing my notes from your presentations.""As a counselor, I am often "out of the loop" so this information was especially valuable. When I returned to school, I reviewed my students' records and translated their test data into percentiles- now it is very clear to me. Thanks so much!"

This was the best two days I have spent in a long time. - Debra, parent from Florida Answers
