Dear Friend & Advocate

teen boy by lockers in schoolEver heard these statements from the school?

  • We don't have to do it.
  • We don't have money in the budget.
  • We can't make exceptions.
  • We have never done that before.

The purpose of IDEA is to meet the unique needs of your child - not the class, not the teacher, not the school, not the district budget.

In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate learn about the school's responsibility to provide your child with an education tailored to his unique needs and to prepare your child for further education, employment and independent living. Find the legal authority in IDEA.
