Issaquah Special Education PTSA

We are thrilled to announce that, in place of our June Parent Power Hour, we will be hosting a casual “Sip and Chat” with local neuropsychologist, Dr. Samuel Kane!

Parents and caregivers of children with an IEP, 504, or suspected disability are invited to come connect, ask questions, share experiences, and enjoy coffee and snacks together in a welcoming, supportive space. We’re so excited to have Dr. Kane joining us for this conversation!
