IEP's for Real Life Facilitated by Carly Eirikson
2026-02-19 18:30 - 20:00 | BC
Our DPAC is pleased to share an upcoming parent workshop
From IEP Goals to Real Life: Supporting Your Child Without Turning Home Into School

📅 Date: Thursday, February 19, 2026
⏰ Time: 6:30–8:00 pm
📍 Location: Live on Zoom (link below)
IEP goals are written for school, but families live in many contexts. This parent-friendly workshop helps families translate IEP goals into realistic support at home, and introduces how AI can be used as a supportive tool to help parents generate ideas and plan next steps.
In this session, parents and caregivers will:

better understand what IEP goals may actually be asking for
identify one or two meaningful priorities that make sense at home
explore practical, low-pressure ways to support learning without added stress
learn ethical ways AI can support parent planning and thinking
have time for questions and discussion

The session is facilitated by Carly Eirikson, who works in inclusive education and school leadership and has experience supporting families as a learning support teacher and educational consultant.
This workshop is intended to be supportive and informative. It does not replace therapy, medical advice, or school-based decision-making, and does not include individual consultation.
Zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82791972357?pwd=[REDACTED]

We hope you can join us.
