Has anyone attended a Wrightslaw Training Program?

Has anyone attended one of the training programs that Wrightslaw conducts?

I'm going to the Special Education Law & Advocacy Training Program (one day, 6 hours) next month. I'm really excited about it and I would like to be as prepared as possible.

If you have been to one of their training programs, what was it like? Did it follow the sample agenda on the website? Were you able to get specific questions answered? Was there an opportunity to network? How many people were in attendance? Did you get a lot out of the program? Is there anything you would suggest bringing or preparing beforehand?

Thanks.

I've never been but know some people who said it was a great experience and they learned a ton. Actually, one of our therapists who played the "mean guy" for us in IEPs went and was pretty much an expert in spec. ed. law after attending. IIRC, she said they did have some time for individual questions and networking and there was a pretty big crowd. (I know a group of parents from here traveled about 500 miles to get to another WL conference.)
