This year they are hosting a seminar series to celebrate their 10 year anniversary of service to the community! The “Maximizing Success” Series was kicked off with an April, 2011 event on Writing Measurable IEPs and was well received by those who attended. Dr. Barbin stated “Our goal is to build relationships with parents and agencies to promote best-practice for students with special needs, so that they may become thriving, productive members of our society. With good intervention and support, much is possible. We are hopeful that our seminar series contributes to that mission and ‘gives back’ this year to those we seek to serve.”
