Writing Legally Defensible & Parent-Friendly Special Education Reports

A brand-new, online training from renowned student support specialist Dr. Andrea Ogonosky

Overview

Clear, comprehensive, and legally compliant special education evaluation reports are critical for effective IEP planning and parent collaboration. This webinar training will support evaluators and special education professionals in writing reports that meet legal standards while remaining accessible and meaningful to parents.

Participants will learn how to synthesize data from a variety of sources—formal assessments, observations, interviews, progress monitoring, and more—into well-organized reports that are both legally defensible and easy for parents to understand. This training includes practical examples, real-world scenarios, and Q&A opportunities to support immediate application.

Key topics include:

  • Strategies for integrating multiple data sources into a cohesive narrative
  • Writing techniques to increase clarity, reduce jargon, and promote parent understanding
  • Framing evaluation findings in a strengths-based, student-centered manner
  • Addressing eligibility criteria clearly
