On behalf of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), the Division of Special Education, Psychological Services/Educationally Related Intensive Counseling Services (ERICS) invites you to participate in Parent Counseling and Training (PCT) virtual workshops. The purpose of PCT is to offer you information on child development, to enhance your knowledge and understanding of your child’s learning and social emotional needs, and to assist you in acquiring skills to support the implementation of your child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP).

To maximize your experience, we encourage you to attend as many virtual workshops as possible.

This PCT informational packet is also available online via the LAUSD Parent Portal. You can register for this online platform at https://parentportalapp.lausd.net/parentaccess/.
