The Georgia Department of Education continues to provide training opportunities and support for school personnel and parents of students with disabilities:
- The Metro East and Metro West GLRS sites are sponsored a combined statewide conference for occupational therapists, physical therapists and teachers of students with orthopedic impairments. The conference was held October 13& 14, 2000 at the Urban Life Center at Georgia State University. The topics of the conference included transition to post-school activities, reading instruction, handwriting and legal issues.
- The Georgia State Improvement Grant (SIG) is a comprehensive statewide initiative designed to foster improved services and outcomes for students with disabilities. One activity of the SIG involves the Center for Collaborative Education (CCE) and the Georgia Learning Resource System (GLRS). The CCE and GLRS offer training to administrators, teachers and parents on providing appropriate supports, services and instructional strategies to students with disabilities served in the regular education environment. To contact the Center for Collaborative Education, call Dr. Paul Alberto, Georgia State University at (404) 651-2310. To register for the GLRS staff development opportunities on this topic or other topics related to special education, contact your local GLRS or call 1-800-282-7552 for information on your local GLRS.
- The Georgia Board of Education recently adopted the Georgia Special Education Rules, which outlines the provision of special education and related services for students with disabilities in Georgia. The Georgia Special Education Rules are posted on the Georgia Department of Education website at www.doe.k12.ga.us.
