Counter Geniuses: See the Able, Not the Label

Trust is the foundation of effective special education. When trust is strong, students grow, families partner, and teams collaborate. When it’s broken, even the best plans fall apart. This session is designed for school leaders, special education administrators, and educators who want to build stronger, more connected learning environments for students receiving special education services. Participants will explore what trust truly looks like in school settings in which students receive special education services— between teachers and students, schools and families, and across multidisciplinary teams.
