Over 40+ sessions contain information and approaches to support each student and family in adherence with the spirit and letter of the law. COPAA's goal is to increase the quality and quantity of practitioners and to provide information that allows students and families to be as independent, self-sufficient and self-advocating as possible; enforcing the civil right to equity in educational opportunity. This exciting event sells out because the interaction with knowledgeable and passionate peers in sessions, events and networking opportunities rejuvenate your spirit and hone your skills.
