This year, the Arkansas Kids Count Coalition is hosting a monthly webinar series, Policy 101, to explore the fundamentals of major policies and programs impacting children and families in Arkansas. The webinars are meant to provide advocates with the essentials around many important topics to help you in advocating for the well-being of Arkansas’s children. We will cover essential components of a program or policy, as well as current issues affecting the policy. We will end by answering your questions.

From IEPs, 504s, and more, Nicole Carey, Education Policy Director at Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families, will discuss various Special Education programs at the state and federal level in this Special Education 101 webinar.
