2026 SELPA Administrators of California ADR Conference - The Power of Partnership

The SELPA Administrators of California 2026 ADR Conference, titled "The Power of Partnership: Shaping Inclusive Solutions for Every Student," focuses on Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) within the special education field. ADR is presented as an informal method for settling disagreements, utilizing specific techniques to foster understanding, open communication, and mutually satisfying solutions that strengthen relationships. The conference is designed to assist families and schools in resolving conflicts related to the implementation of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), assessments, timelines, IEP content, and the appropriateness of special education programs and services. The previous year's event attracted over 1,250 attendees. Registration includes breakfast, lunch, and parking at the conference venue. The collaboration with Pathways to Partnership ADR Resource Lead has significantly reduced registration costs for this year.
