Speakers: Stacey Greenwald Esq and Sussan Greenwald Esq

What lies ahead for a child with a communication challenge when it comes to school? What are your child's rights? Your answers to these simple questions are vitally important no matter how old your child is, whether your child is turning three within the next few months, or sooner, and you want to know what to ask your town's school, or whether your child is already in a preschool early intervention program, but he or she is turning 5 or 6, or older, and you are now looking at "appropriate" placement.

There are many things to consider and, who better to advise us than Staci Greenwald Esq, who was a special education teacher before attending law school, and has a degree in speech pathology. So Staci is knowledgeable not only about the special ed law, but about the conditions themselves. In becoming a strong advocate for your child, it's best to empower yourself with the knowledge that can help to make the road easier for you and your child. Staci Greenwald is one of Cherab's most popular and requested speakers. You will not want to miss the opportunity this meeting brings to all of us, by once again bringing us Staci Greenwald.

The Cherab Foundation is a world-wide nonprofit organization working to improve the communication skills and education of all children with speech and language delays and disorders. Our area of emphasis is verbal and oral apraxia, severe neurologically-based speech and language disorders that hinder children's ability to speak.

The Foundation is committed to assisting with the development of new therapeutic approaches, preventions and cures to neurologically-based speech disorders. We bring together parents and medical, research, and educational professionals. Please join us and help to give our children a smile and a voice.
