ASK an Expert: What's the Big Deal about Prior Written Notice?

When an IEP team, including parents, makes decisions about a child’s special education services, it must explain those decisions in writing. This written explanation is called a Prior Written Notice (PWN). In this webinar, Stephanie Petrillo, B.A., J.D., Staff Attorney, Disability Rights Iowa, will help families understand what a PWN is, when schools must provide one, and why it’s so important. You’ll learn what information a PWN should include and how it helps protect your child’s rights in the special education process. Join us to build your understanding and confidence in working with your child’s IEP team. By the end of the session, participants will: ✅ Know what a Prior Written Notice (PWN) is and when it’s required ✅ Understand what information a PWN should include ✅ Recognize why getting the PWN right matters for your child’s supports and services Powerpoint Presentation: https://www.askresource.org/filesimag...
