Employing the Principles of Ethnic Studies to (Re)conceptualize the IEP Process Webinar - With Dr. Rosalinda Larios

5:00 PM - 6:35 PM | ZOOM ID: 880 0759 9412

The Individualized Education Program (IEP) is central to special education. Yet, for many practitioners and families alike, it can be daunting and perpetuate many inequities. Moreover, without accounting for the intersection of ability, race, language, and other marginalized identities, the IEP process goes against the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. This webinar will discuss how practitioners can apply the principles of Ethnic Studies to the IEP process to ensure that everyone involved understands the significance of their role and how schools and families can work together to mitigate disproportionate placement of students with dis/abilities. 

Dr. Rosalinda Larios is an Associate Professor in the Department of Special Education at California State University, Fullerton, and the principal investigator of an HSI Equity Innovation Hub grant. Her experience in the field of special education is expansive and ranges throughout PK-12 educational settings. Her scholarship includes the development of composite counterstories to disrupt deficit ideologies of Spanish-speaking families in the IEP process. Through the HSI Equity Innovation Hub, Dr. Larios supports general and special education pre-and in-service teachers to be just, equitable, and inclusive educators.
