Future Meetings/Workshops
The RMU Trees Network holds monthly parent/family meetings during the school year. We are pleased to announce that Dr. Jennifer Shuman and Nicole Glover from Mount Lebanon School District have volunteered their time to provide us an overview of twice-exceptionality. They will discuss strategies and appropriate educational environments used for students with 2e. They will share information about characteristics and supports available to students and how those supports and accommodations are implemented during the school day. They will be presenting virtually at our Monday, November 4 parent and family meeting. To register for this family/parent meeting, please contact contact Vicki Donne at donne@rmu.edu or Deanna Hiltz at hiltzd@rmu.edu.
This series of videos were recorded from workshops provided by PA Family Network to give families, self-advocates, and support staff the information needed to prepare for, and manage emergency situations. The resource also includes a link to request an emergency prep kit.
