Assessments are a key part of the IFSP (Individualized Family Service Plan) and IEP (Individualized Education Plan) process. They help determine special education eligibility, as well as the needs of the student and how they are being met. But at times, reading assessment results can feel overwhelming and leave you wondering what it all means.

Next month's SECAC meeting will focus on Understanding and Interpreting Assessments. SECAC, which stands for Special Education Citizens Advisory Committee, is for families, students, educators, administrators and community partners. Meetings are typically the first Thursday of the month. The virtual link opens at 6:30 for social discussion and the meeting runs from 7:00-8:30.

If you would like more information about SECAC or would like to register, please email harfordcountysecac@gmail.com or visit their Facebook page.
