Topics Overview

Almost 80% of diagnosticians and school psychologists currently use AI in their professional practice, and there is much disagreement in the validity of using AI for test interpretation and the ethics of using it for report writing. Honest conversations are needed regarding how AI is integrated into assessment systems and report writing systems. This session will discuss the various components of using AI within the practice of special education evaluation.

Interpreting & Integrating Multi-Sourced Data into Legally Defensible Reports

Special education evaluation personnel have recently been guided by TEA regarding expectations for the use of integrating and interpreting multiple sources of various types of data into IDEA eligibility determinations. Additionally, there are heightened expectations for how that information is communicated within the FIE. This session will focus on streamlining and producing a sound decision-making process that results in a well-written FIE.

Beyond Accommodations: Strategies to Transform Anxiety into Resilience in the IEP and the Workplace.

National data reports the continuing rise of anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicide post-Covid, particularly in the special education population as students with disabilities often experience anxiety and depression. This session will focus on the importance of simplifying accommodations and implementing strategies to increase academic progress and support student IEPs. Participants will learn how to reframe and reapply simple strategies for more positive results in student well-being and academic success. Additionally, these strategies are beneficial for workplace-related anxiety, self-reflection, and improving communication amongst special education staff. Students aren’t the only ones suffering from anxiety! These strategies are also intended to help staff as they work to help students.

FAQs

Will my registration be tax-exempt?

Yes, our conference registrations are automatically charged as tax-exempt.

Can I register online with PO (Purchase Order)?

When registering for an ED311 event you can either pay with a credit card, or choose to be invoiced and pay later. If you choose the invoice option, there is a PO field where you can enter your PO#, if you have it. After registering, please email a copy of your purchase order form to PO@ed311.com. Please note that your registration is not considered complete until we receive either your purchase order form or payment (via check, credit card, or ACH).​

Are there multiple registration prices?

We now offer group registration discounts on some events! We also offer a discount if you would like to access your conference materials digitally instead of getting a printed conference workbook. We no longer offer early payment discounts. If you have a very large group of attendees or a group of students that you’d like to send to one of our events, please contact ambrose@ed311.com

Do I need to pay in advance for my registration? 

We must receive either a valid purchase order form or payment before the date of your event. Simply filling out the registration form does not complete your registration. Your registration is only considered complete once we have received either an approved purchase order form or payment by check, credit card, or ACH. You can email your purchase order to PO@ed311.com. Registrants of our online virtual events will not receive digital access until we have received your PO or payment. Registrants of an in-person event will not be able to attend the event without a PO or payment.

Can I substitute another person in my place for a conference I am registered for?

Yes. Submit your request via our Substitution Form. Please note that we must receive your substitution request at least 3 business days before the date of the event for your attendee to be included on our list of attendees at the event registration table. If you need to make a last minute substitution, that is not a problem. Just make sure your sub checks in using the original registrant’s name and tell our staff at the registration table that they are a substitute.

 How can I get your W-9?

You can download our W-9 here.
