Earn Your Special Education Mediation Certificate Today. 

Resolve IEP disputes while earning a great income.

A direct, step-by-step approach to adding the mediation skills and knowledge about special education you need to help resolve disputes between schools and families while adding credentials and an additional stream of income to your career. 

IEP disputes are common in schools. More trained mediators are needed to assist in resolving these conflicts successfully. Meetings are often fraught with emotion and communication issues that lead to conflict rather collaboration.

This self-paced program, already required for Special Education Mediators in some State Departments of Education and in some individual school districts, provides a Step-by-Step process for conducting mediation sessions that lead to successful outcomes. 

Help Special Kids, their families and their schools, while earning a great income.

There is a woefully insufficient number of professionals who have both special education knowledge and mediation skills. This program aims to fill that void. 

Mediators earn hundreds of dollars an hour for their work. 

Educators, special education professionals, mental health professionals and others can earn extra income by offering Special Education Mediation services to school districts across the United States. It's a great way to provide a valuable and rewarding service that helps kids with special needs, their families and their schools while adding credentials and income to a career.

This program provides:

  • On-demand access to  comprehensive video lectures, reading assignments, information and resources about Special Education Law and requirements, and examples of mediation tools and techniques.

  • Forms, templates, and a meeting model to help you effectively mediate special education disputes. 

  • A Special Education Mediation Certificate  upon completion.

There is currently a national effort to improve IEP Meetings at the local school district level. A significant part of this effort includes the engagement of professionals trained in Facilitating IEP Team meetings to ensure a collaborative dynamic in which every team member feels valued, heard and an integral part of a team that is using its collective effort to find the best possible education plan for special students, to the satisfaction of all members, and within school resource capability. The facilitation model is emerging as the preferred, and increasingly used form of meeting for IEP discussions. Districts and states are in need of trained facilitators to assist them in running IEP meetings using this model.

There has never been a better time to earn a Certificate that is increasing in value every day. Join this On-demand cohort and help families and schools find the best educational opportunity for every special child, while adding an interesting new credential and stream of income to your career. And you can do it on your own schedule - no need to make any changes to your own commitments in order to attend scheduled classes.
