Education Audio Conferences

How does a Webinar work?

Webinar registrants will receive an e-mail a few days before the event with complete instructions on how to participate. You'll be given a unique Event I.D. and PIN that entitles you to a single phone-line connection to access the audio portion of the event and steps to retrieve the speaker's hand-outs. You'll also get instructions for accessing the Web component of the conference where you'll view the presentation guided by the speaker.

Single Participant

Connect to the Webinar from the convenience of your office — all you need is a phone and a computer with Internet access.

Multiple Participants

Gather in a convenient meeting space — all you need is a speakerphone, a computer with Internet access, a projector and a screen.

Can I participate in a Webinar without a computer?

Absolutely. A Webinar is just like an audio conference, except you are able to view the presentation guided by the speaker and respond to polling questions via the Web. If you choose not to use the Web portion, you'll still hear the speaker's entire presentation and be able to follow along using the printed materials as well as participate in the Q&A sessions.

Train your entire team
for one low rate!

LRP's Webinars are the perfect way to train staff . All you need is a conference room with a speakerphone, a computer with Internet access, a projector and a screen (or a large white area to project onto) — and invite as many others as you'd like. You won't pay one penny extra for additional attendees participating from the same location.

Polling Questions

During the Webinar, speakers may pose questions to the audience. This unique feature provides increased interaction and allows you to see how your colleagues responded.

The Rock Solid Manifestation Determination: A Guide to Making the Right Decision
Presented by Melinda Baird, Esq.

Admit it — you dread doing manifestation determinations. You’re never really sure you’ve made the right decision.

In this fast-paced Webinar, attorney Melinda Baird will break down the complex maze of law and regulations governing the process, explain the intent, and give real-life, practical tips for making a correct manifestation determination that will stick.

Take the mystery out of one of the most misunderstood requirements and processes in special education. You and your staff will also learn:

        •    The difference between a "disability" vs. a medical diagnosis

        •    Whether self-esteem, poor choices and other personal issues
             should be considered

        •    How to discern willful behavior from behavior caused by a disability

        •    How the "quality" of a student's IEP factors in a manifestation determination

        •    And more

Best of all, time is allotted for Q&A, so you can ask any specific questions you have.

$250 per site when you register by May 4th, $270 thereafter. Unlimited participants at your location!
