ASCV Workshop in Partnership with PEATC: How to Talk so Schools will Listen and Listen so Schools Will Talk

February 20, 2020 By Carissa Garabedian

Join the ASCV on Wednesday, March 4th for our monthly workshop, How to Talk so Schools will Listen and Listen so Schools Will Talk presented by Keri Peko of PEATC at River Road United Methodist Church at 6:30pm.

Why are partnerships so difficult? What can be done to improve understanding between parents and professionals as they seek to find mutual agreement on IEPs and other issues related to education for students with disabilities? This workshop will help participants discover communication techniques, learn how to recognize and prevent barriers to communication and build agreements around difficult problems.

About the presentor, Kari Peko, PEATC Miitary Outreach Specialist

In 2005, Keri Peko founded the first Tricare approved not-for-profit applied behavior analysis and family support clinic in Chesapeake Virginia. While managing the business, she assisted clients by providing in-home parent training and advocacy during IEP meetings. Her 20-year-old daughter with severe autism inspired Keri to address the needs of children on the spectrum in her community. She has met with senior military leadership, members of Congress, and health care industry leaders to address the impact autism has on military readiness. Keri’s family has lived all over the country but has called Chesapeake home for 18 years. She currently serves as PEATC’s Military Outreach Coordinator.
