We recently had the honor of hosting a webinar with Nicholas Martin, founder and director of The Center for Accord, Inc., on the 21 Best Practices for Effective IEP Meetings.

Nick presented 21 best practices that help assure the team’s progress, while minimizing the likelihood of being derailed on its way to success.
