  • Mediation and Facilitation Informational Sessions

    Often families and school districts are able to work collaboratively and develop IEPs and 504s to meet the needs of their students; however, when they reach an impasse, it can be frustrating, upsetting, and sometimes leave the parties wondering how to move forward. The BSEA Mediators/Facilitators aim to be both accessible and approachable and we are now offering monthly Informational Zoom sessions. The sessions are free and open to ANYONE who wants to learn more about our services; this includes parents, students, school districts, family support folks, attorneys, advocates, anyone wanting to know more about BSEA Mediation and Facilitation. Please follow this link to get more information on our sessions along with their Zoom Links: https://www.mass.gov/service-details/mediation-and-facilitation-informational-sessions
