Coordinating with the NIMAC: What It Means & Why It’s Important Webinar
Each year, coordinating with the National Instructional Materials Access Center (NIMAC) is referenced in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part B application for federal funds. But what does this actually mean in practice? Although all 50 states have coordinated with the NIMAC for many years, the details of what coordination entails may not always be clearly defined at the administrative level. Join us to learn how the NIMAC supports students, and what the legal obligations are under IDEA for State Educational Agencies (SEAs) and Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) that choose to work with this free program funded by the Office of Special Education Programs.
Who Should Watch?
