The Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates (COPAA) is an independent, nonprofit membership organization of special education attorneys, special education advocates, other professionals, and parents/family members. Our primary mission is to secure high quality education services for children with disabilities. COPAA is premised on the belief that the key to effective educational programs for children with disabilities is collaboration – as equals – by parents and educators. Disseminating knowledge of protections under the law, advocacy strategy, and educational best practice is an important part of leveling the playing field and enabling parents to meaningfully participate in their child’s educational programs. The COPAA conference provides unique opportunities for training and networking with the most experienced and knowledgeable special education advocates and attorneys on special education issues. Participants attend to learn about the most recent cases, legislative changes, and the latest disability specific educational interventions. Over 400 registrants are expected to attend the conference this year. (Note: Attorneys who represent education agencies and current employees of education agencies are not eligible to attend the conference or submit proposals.) Deadline for Proposals Proposals must be received by Midnight Eastern Daylight Savings Time, September 15, 2010 to be eligible for consideration.
