November Workshops

"Everything You Want To Know About Advocating For Your Special Needs Child,
 But Were Never Told" presented by Christine Ann Soto Esq.

Sunday November 15, 2009
11:00 am

There is a lot of information available about advocating for children with special needs. There are books, seminars, lectures, websites etc. But how do you put all of that good information to use?  You learn the "hidden curriculum" of effective advocacy. Join us for an in-depth discussion of the unwritten rules to advocacy through all stages of thespecial education process.

CHRISTINE ANN SOTO, ESQ., a graduate of New York University Law School and the University of Pennsylvania, began her legal career as a public interest lawyer in New York. Her interest in advocating for children with special needs developed on both a personal as well as professional basis. As a mother of two children with special needs herself, she quickly realized that many families needed assistance to maneuver the complex world of special education, especially those who were non-English speaking. Christine, who is fluent, in Spanish has been an active member of several special needs organizations and has attended numerous conferences relating to the needs of children with disabilities. After serving as an educational advocate for several years, Christine joined the Law Office of G. Emerson Dickman. This year, to further serve individuals with special needs, Christine opened her own family-centered law practice, Law Offices of Christine Ann Soto in Bergen/Hudson Counties in New Jersey and Westchester County in New York.
