September 23 @ 8:30 am – September 25 @ 4:30 pm
Hybrid Event
$380.00

September 23–25, 2026 · Columbia, SC · In person or virtual

Three days of legal training designed specifically for school psychologists — special education law, legally defensible practice, and a keynote from the SC Department of Education’s Deputy General Counsel. Attend one, two, or all three days, in person or virtually, and earn SCASP continuing education credit — or college credit through Winthrop University.

Taking it for Winthrop University credit? Each full-day workshop earns 0.5 graduate semester credit ($213 per 0.5 credit; 30% educator discount available). Sign up for Winthrop credit here, then choose a free Winthrop Credit ticket below for the days you’ll attend. Both registrations are required — Winthrop’s covers your credit; the free SCASP ticket is what reserves your seat at the conference. Details in the Winthrop credit flyer (PDF).
