Summary:

Hosted by the RAISE Center and the Center for Parent Information and Resources, this webinar  offers information and strategies for advocacy and outreach for students with disabilities in juvenile justice systems.

Kate Burdick from the Juvenile Law Center provides a policy perspective on how the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) addresses this group of vulnerable students, the barriers to appropriate supports, and the challenges faced for successful reentry. PTIs and CPRCs also share their experiences and expertise in supporting these youth and their families, as well as their systems advocacy efforts, especially where their states have engaged them in the self-assessment processes outlined in the State Correctional Education Self-Assessment (SCES) found at:
