This meeting is in collaboration with Katy Autism Support, DSAH-Katy, and ADDA-Katy Support Group.

We use tools everyday to make our lives simpler, but do you know which tools make your life easier in the ARD/IEP process?  Come learn which tool to use (and when to use it) to effectively advocate for your child’s special education needs!  Become your own best advocate by using the right tools in your Toolbox!

Presented by David Beinke, Director of Advocacy for Cirkiel and Associates, a disability law firm in Round Rock, TX.  With 20 years of case management and administrative experience in the mental health field and 14 years with a law firm, David brings a proactive brand of support for children with disabilities in their education environment to families throughout the state of Texas.  Participating in COPAA as co-chair of the Advocates Committee and one of the founding members of TOPAA, he maintains a statewide presence in training and mentoring advocates and parents.  He has a BS in Education and is a former US Marine Sargent.  He also represents individuals in their Supplemental Security Income, SS Disability income, Medicaid, unemployment claims, workers compensation, and ADA issues.  David is seen frequenting various Texas musical venues as a drummer with the touring band RNJ, and teaching chess.
