We helped more than 1,000 students who connected with ELC through our Helpline and community partners.
For example, we helped "Isabella," a Spanish-speaking student with a disability who had been deprived of appropriate special education and English learner services. As a result of our advocacy, Pittsburgh Public Schools agreed to a compensatory education award and to translate special education communications for Isabella and her parents — and also to new districtwide policies and procedures for evaluating English learners with disabilities and for engaging with limited English proficient families.
