Highlights from Our
2023 “A Time To Thrive”
Charter SELPA Symposium

The El Dorado Charter SELPA held its annual “Inspiration to Action Symposium — A Time to Thrive” on Friday, January 27, 2023, at the Sheraton Grand Hotel in Sacramento, CA. The featured speakers included Otto Lana, William Del Rosario, and Isabella Santoyo, three non-verbal teenagers with autism; Danielle Boyer, a 21-year-old indigenous robotics inventor; Marcus Allen, Jenn Gorospe-Tull, and Erin Mahoney speaking on the power of stories; and Diana Pastora-Carson, author and educator on disability inclusion.

More than 200 participants from County Offices, SELPAs, LEAs, and Nonpublic Agencies attended. They shared that attending the symposium reminded them of the importance of relationship building, that “hearing student’s voice and listening to real stories matters,” and the “power of focusing on the possibility, not the disability.”

Welcome

The Charter Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) is a statewide educational organization governed by representatives from member charter schools. We partner with our member schools to ensure excellent educational opportunities for special education students in charter schools. Each partner is committed to meeting the educational needs of children, their families, and educators. Our inspiration is the belief that every child should have the opportunity to achieve his or her full potential. To achieve this goal, the Charter SELPA empowers charter schools to build capacity by providing high-quality professional development and technical assistance.
