COPAA webinars, arranged by the COPAA Training Committee, are scheduled throughout the year. Webinars are of most interest to attorneys and advocates who represent students with disabilities, as well as parents (individuals who have a family member with a disability and do not receive any income for advocacy efforts on behalf of students with disabilities).

Registration is NOT open to anyone who is employed by or receives more than 50% of his/her income from state, local, or intermediate education agencies, or, in the case of an attorney, who represents or has represented such an agency or school district within the past five years.

In January, 2005, the USC UCEDD at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, in partnership with the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates (COPAA) received a 3-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) to implement, evaluate, and explore the feasibility of a replicable special education advocate pilot training program that will address current concerns regarding the availability and quality of non-attorney advocacy services for families of children with disabilities.
