The Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) requires that each state establish and maintain an advisory panel for the purpose of advising the State special education staff regarding the education of all eligible children with disabilities. In Hawaii that advisory panel is the Special Education Advisory Council or SEAC.
SEAC is made up of a diverse group of individuals with expertise on all aspects affecting special education and related issues. Membership includes a majority of parents of children with disabilities aged 26 or younger and persons with disabilities. Other members include teachers, administrators, university professors, juvenile and adult corrections program administrators, private and charter school representatives, representatives from the Department of Heath and the Department of Human Services, representatives for children who are in foster care or who are currently without a residence, and representatives from the community. All members serve on a volunteer basis.

SPIN Conference
2022-10-22 09:00 - 12:30 | On Your Computer
Please join us for our fall SPIN Conference on Saturday October 22nd on Zoom. The conference will be free and open to parents and caregivers raising a child with a disability and the caring professionals who work with them.

Register HERE: https://forms.gle/KtvG35zN52oSdQoq5

This year, out conference theme is “It’s a Marathon, Not a Sprint”, highlighting the skills families need to raise a child with a disability. We originally planned to offer an in-person event, but were unable to secure a location this fall, so we pivoted to offering a virtual mini-conference on October 22nd. In the spring, we plan to resume our full in-person SPIN Conference and resource fair, and will continue the “Marathon” theme. So think of the fall and spring SPIN Conferences like one big marathon event! And when training for a marathon, we don’t jump into running the whole race at once, we work ourselves up to it with smaller races, to build our strength and resilience. Imagine our October conference as a “5K Fun Run”, as we learn new skills, build on what we know and prepare for “the big race” ahead of us. Raising a child with a disability, learning medical terms, and understanding the IEP process, all while keeping our family going is like running a marathon. It can be physically exhausting yet gratifying, emotionally challenging yet rewarding, and it can feel like you’re running alone, even when surrounded by people who love and support you. Our workshops this fall will build on your skills around “Self-Care”, because you are worth taking care of too, “Humor & Laughter” because laughter counteracts against stress, and “Building a Network of Supports” because as we move along on our child’s journey, their supports and needs will change as they do. We are excited about these workshops and hope you are too! These “soft skills” will help you on your marathon journey no matter if you are just starting out or a seasoned “runner” and we can’t wait for you to join us!
