For health and safety reasons, WSEMS now offers virtual mediations and facilitations as a way for the parties to meet.
An in-person option may be available. WSEMS follows the current CDC, state, and local health and safety guidance for in-person gatherings.

The Wisconsin Special Education Mediation System helps parents and schools work together to resolve disputes about special education.
