2026 FALL Book Study

Looking for practical, actionable strategies to support exceptional learners in your school community? Join us this fall for an engaging book study series designed for educators, specialists, and administrators!

Together, we’ll explore key topics across special education, including:

• Compliant & Meaningful IEPs: Master individualized documentation from early childhood to post-secondary transition with A Case Study Approach to Writing Individualized Special Education Documents by Kathleen A. Boothe & Andrea R. Hathcote.
• Bullying Prevention & Safety: Learn proactive strategies to safeguard vulnerable students with Recognize, Respond, Report: Preventing and Addressing Bullying of Students with Special Needs by Lori Ernsperger.
• Evidence-Based Literacy: Dive into the science of reading and language essentials with Speech to Print (3rd Ed.) by Louisa Cook Moats.
• Trauma-Informed Behavioral Support: Gain a deeper understanding of complex behaviors and classroom interventions with Help for Billy by Heather T. Forbes.

Connect with colleagues, earn professional development insights, and walk away with tools you can use immediately in your classroom or district.

You can register for any one or all book studies! For each book completed, you will earn 20 hours of professional development credit that can be used for professional development hours (CEUs), ADE recertification credit or for DHS licensure credit for speech/language professionals.

You are responsible for acquiring the book from any vendor you choose.
