Learning Seminars

We're partnering with Abdnour Weiker, LLP, Disability Rights Ohio, and Ohio Coalition for the Education of Children with Disabilities to support their monthly workshops on topics related to education.

Following each workshop, you can also sign up for a 30-minute consultation with an attorney or advocate to ask questions regarding your child's specific educational matter. 

​

The workshops and consultation take place the third Monday of each month, from Noon-1pm, unless otherwise scheduled. The individual consultations take place from 1-3pm, immediately following the workshop.
