*Note: This event is ONLY for students of Frederick County Public Schools and their families.

The Frederick County mini-summit is a conference-style event in which parents and students attend breakout sessions. Parents will have a choice of session topics to select from based on their own interests and needs. There will also be a vendor fair to provide parents with the opportunity to speak with community agencies and services that can be a support to their child and family. Student sessions offer a fun, interactive environment to engage youth in learning the foundational skills to be involved in the IEP process.  

The Frederick County I’m Determined Youth & Parent Mini-Summit is a collaborative effort of the Frederick County Public Schools Special Instructional Services Department and the Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC).

This year’s Mini-Summit is Saturday, October 7 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Robert E. Aylor Middle School. The focus of the 2023 I’m Determined Mini-Summit is Student Involvement in the IEP Process and the Three Fundamental Needs of Self-Determination: Competence, Autonomy, and Relatedness (C.A.R.).

Students of Frederick County Public Schools and their families are invited to participate. Pre-registration is requested.
